Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of the $iijis<br />

Section Three:<br />

Dealing with the Fallacies relied upon <strong>by</strong> those who<br />

Permit Listening to Singing<br />

Of these arguments is the l;tadith of 'A'ishah (rat/iyA//ahu 'anha)<br />

where once Allah's Messenger (;I) was sleeping in her house. It was<br />

the day of 'id and two young girls were singing. Abii Bakr (raf/iyAl/dhu<br />

'anhu) came into the house and told the girls to stop. <strong>The</strong> Messenger<br />

(:i) said: "Let them sing, it is the day of 'id "2 0 1<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is also the l;tadith of Fuqalah <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Ubayd (rat/iyAllahu 'anhu)<br />

that the Prophet (:i) said: "Allah listens more attentively to a person<br />

with a good voice reciting the Qur'an, than the owner of a singing<br />

girl listens to her singing."202<br />

<strong>Ibn</strong> Tahir said: <strong>The</strong>y say that this l;tadith proves that listening to<br />

songs is permissible, because had listening to a singing girl been<br />

forbidden, the Messenger (;I) would not have drawn such a<br />

compans1on.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is also the l;tadith: "Allah listens to nothing as He listens to<br />

a Prophet chanting the Qur'an."203<br />

And the l;tadith of Mul;tammad ibn I:Iatib (raf/iyA//ahu 'anhu): "<strong>The</strong><br />

distinction between the lawful and the unlawful is the playing of the<br />

tambour (al-duf.J)."204<br />

Bukhari 2/445 and Muslim 3/21.<br />

<strong>The</strong> }:tadith is authentic and will be discussed shortly in the response.<br />
