18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is music with explicit or violent lyrics haram? Lyrics do not make music haram: Arabic poetry about sex and alcohol was recited in the Prophet's mosque and is still studied by every scholar, and Ka'b ibn Zuhayr recited his love-opening ode from the Prophet's minbar. Mufti Abu Layth does not promote a culture of violence and drugs but says people can judge content for themselves. Question from the audienceposition checkedSahih al-Bukharireport: they recited poetry with the prophet through the night and then he said now read quran (Sahih al-Bukhari, number not stated)Imru' al-Qaisthe Mu'allaqat machine6 min 34 s15:47on YouTube
18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti If obscene lyrics make music haram, what about the classical Arabic poetry taught in madrasas? Classical Arabic poetry taught in every major madrasa, from Abu Nuwas to the Hamasa and Imru' al-Qais, is as full of violence, alcohol and sex as rap lyrics, so condemning rap on religious grounds is a double standard. Parents may set their own rules for their children without attributing them to God. Lessonposition checkedAbu Nuwasal-Hamasa of Abu TammamAbu TammamImru' al-Qais machine11 min 32 s36:43on YouTube
