SHARIAH RULING ON CULTURAL PROGRAMS-ANNUAL DAY Part 3

<span style="font-size: 14px">The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Lead will be poured into the ears of the person, who sits with a songstress and listens to her song. <br /> <br /> Singing and music foster hypocrisy (Nifaq) in the heart the way water fosters crops. In Tafseerat e Ahmadiya there is Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam): <br /> <br /> Translation: Whoever raises his voice in singing, 2 devils are set upon that person. One on one shoulder and the other on the other and both of them keep dancing until this person relapses into silence. <br /> <br /> From the above mentioned verses and Hadith, it becomes clear that singing and music, enjoying and presenting cultural programs involving all this is not permissible in any way for a Muslim. There are Hadith that condemn presenting such programs and attending them: <br /> <br /> Translation: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: &ldquo;Singing and music are Haram (forbidden); enjoying it is denial of Allah&rsquo;s ni&rsquo;mah (bounties) and attending a singing performance is sin and transgression.&rdquo; </span>
