Muslim musician making taubah

· 29 Jumada II 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am a former musician who by the will of Allah, will not go back to doing music.

What happens to the music that I already put out which is beyond my control now? Will Allah punish me for people listening to my music after I have sincerely asked forgiveness?

Answer

Make taubah in public, and request all those who have your recordings to destroy it and that you will not be responsible.

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