18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Which scholars held that music is permissible, and what did Imam Malik's school say? Al-Shawkani, Ibn Hazm, Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and al-Fakihani all found no sahih hadith prohibiting music, and the people of Madinah, including the qadi Sa'd ibn Ibrahim, held it permissible, with some transmitting this as Imam Malik's own position. Only Allah and His Messenger are authorities, so a refutation needs a sahih hadith.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam If reason judges religion, whose reason counts, and what about rituals? The concept of ritual must make sense, not every detail; the shared judgement of a healthy mind is the standard; and, by Malik's rule that only the Messenger's words are beyond rejection, following a school is not belonging to a cult.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Music: the hadith on singing and hypocrisy, and scholars who permitted music Nothing proven categorically makes music haram, and lyrics by themselves do not make listening haram. The hadith the critic cited on singing and hypocrisy is weak in every chain, and he lists scholars who said no sahih report forbids music.
