الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح
Music is a deadly disease that has a profound effect on human heart.
أن رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال « فى هذه الأمة خسف ومسخ وقذف ». فقال رجل من المسلمين يا رسول الله ومتى ذاك قال « إذا ظهرت القينات والمعازف وشربت الخمور ».
(جامع الترمذي)
((In this Ummah there will be [people who will be] sunk into the earth, deformed, and upon whom stones will rain from heaven.))
When the Sahâbî enquired as to when will that be, Rasûlullâh sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam replied:
((When singing girls and instruments of music will appear (become prevalent), and wine will be drunk.))
As listening to music is prohibited; listening to music made by vocal karaoke is also not permissible.
والله أعلم بالصواب
