Is music haram in Islam?
Short answer: Musical instruments are forbidden according to the four schools and the majority of scholars; the daff for women and girls at weddings and Eid is the exception. Nasheeds without instruments are allowed.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “There will be people from my Ummah who will consider lawful zina, silk, alcohol and musical instruments” (al-Bukhari 5590). Based on this and other evidence, the four imams and the majority of scholars held that musical instruments are forbidden, with the exception of the daff (hand drum) for women and girls at weddings and Eid. Poetry and nasheeds with good words and no instruments are allowed. Fill your time instead with the Quran – try listening to the Quran.
