Listening to nasheed artists that have music in the background of their nasheeds

· 24 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Some nasheed artists have music in the background of their nasheed. Then they also sing the same nasheed as vocals only. How can you explain to someone who says that it's fine to listen to the vocals only nasheed, that it is Haraam to do so?

Answer

It is not at all correct to listen to such unscrupulous people.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
