The Dark Danger

The Allegation that Music and

Poetry Are Forbidden

Ibn 'Asakir relates from Anas (ra) that the Prophet (pbuh)

said, "Whoever listens to a female singer, molten lead will be
poured into his ears on the Day of Judgment." (Dha'ifu-Jami'
As-Saghir Lil-Albani no. 5410 and Ad-Dha'ifah no. 4549)

It would be better for you were your insides full of vomit
and blood rather than poetry. (M. al-Masabih 4/4809)

Whoever listens to the sound of singing will not be permit-
ted to listen to the spirits in paradise. (Kanzu 'Ummal no.

40660, 400666 and Qurtubi no. 14/53-54)

Singing produces hypocrisy in the heart. (Sunan Abu
Dawud, Book 41, Hadith 4909)
