(*255)According to the principle that whatever is coupled with a prohibited thing becomes prohibited. (*256)Such as the 'Eed festival, wedding celebrations, etc. (*257)Such as those songs which describe sex, wine-drinking or any immoral subjects. (*258)This occurs when the singer purposely manipulates his/her voice in a throbbing, titillating manner which arouses sexual passions. (*259)One of the rare geniuses of the <strong>Islamic</strong> sciences, nicknamed "Sultanul Ulamaa" (the Monarch of Scholars). He definitely deserves this title. He was born in Damascus (577 H./1181 C.E.) and died in Cairo (660 H./1262 C.E.). For details, see Mu'jamul Muallifeen, vol. 5, pp. 249-250. (*260)<strong>The</strong> immediate refernce inthis passage is to the practice of some Sufis who dance according to a certain method as a so-called "spiritual" exercise. However, what has been said here applies generally to all dancing by males regardless of whether it's done for pleasure or for "worship." (*261)In variuos authentic traditions narrated by Al-Bukhaari, Muslim, et. al. (*262)Quoted from Kaffur Ra'aa, p 73. (*263)Quoted from the tafseer, Roohul Ma'aani, vol. 21, p. 71. (*264)In loose clothing from above the chest to below the knee, at the very minimum. (*265)Such as occurs during belly-dancing or various western dances such as soul, rock and funk. (*266)Just as is the case of wine, whose drinking, production, sale and even carrying is forbidden. (*267)By the proper authorities. See footnote no. 112. (*268)Unless he listens to it with the intent to hear it and seek pleasure in it. (*269)Soorah Al-Muddaththir, 74:38. (*270)See his foreword to <strong>The</strong> Glorious Quran, p. 3. (*271)Related by Iman Al-Bukkaari. <strong>The</strong> Quraan is to be melodiously chanted or sung, but not according to one's personal style dictated by fancy. <strong>The</strong> Quraan must be recited according to the rules of tajweed, the precise science which details the rules for Quraanic recitation. Notes are to be extended (al-madd) according to a certain number of beats; the letters noon and meem are melodiously held and their notes emphasized, etc. One is required to learn this method of recitiation. (*272)Authentically related by Abu Dawood and Ahmad bin Hanbal.
(*273)I would certainly encourage the likes of Yoosuf Islam (the former Cat Stevens) and others to use this medium for <strong>Islamic</strong> revival and as a means for da'wah (invitation of non-Muslims to the path of Allah). (*274)Soorah Ar-R'ad, 14:28. (*275)Regardless of whether it be with crossbow, spear or firearms. (*276)Soorah Aali-Imraan, 3:138.
