can someone tell me why is dancing not permissable? what if someone dances as form of exercise in the privacy of their own home? or in the company of just women?
please can someone give me the ruling on this.
thank you |

Sister, who told you that dancing is not permissible? I think you only have to keep in mind the modesty in your dancing. History is the witness that all cultures have some sort of dance which they display on the happy or trimphant occasions, whether it being a cultural event, a wedding, or the celebration of a victory in a war.
One should be careful not to make such moves which emphasize certain body parts. In my opinion, shariah does not stop you to dance in the privacy of your home or among women.
May Allah guide us. |

Well here you go sister. Half of the answer is in your question,"Vulgarity in Layrics". No where in Quran, we find any directive which prohibits music or instruments. Rather, Quran tells us that Prophet David (Dauod) would sing Psalms on his harp. And all the creatures including birds would stop and listen to God's Words in Prophet David's melodious voice. I am sorry i don't have a copy of Quran right now with me or i would have given you the exact verse and chapter.
The Hadith which shows Prophet's(pbuh) dislikeness for music actually indicates the use of alcohol and gambling in such events or parties. And i am sure you have heard that famous narration where on one Eid day, some women singers came and started singing infront of the beloved Prophet (pbuh) and AbuBakar (may allah be pleased with him) tried to stop from singing infront of Prophet (pbuh), Prophet asked AbuBakar to let them sing because it was eid. And how little girls welcomed our beloved Prophet in Medinda by singing and playing on daff. Please search "Music" on this website as it has been discussed in detail and you may find more material on it in that forum.
As of "Instruments", some scholars allow only certain kind of instruments like "Daff" or may be " Harp". To this, i can only say that as humans has moved on from horses and camels to cars,plans and ships, as they have moved on from hand fans to electric fans and airconditionion units, from a letter sent by a messenger on horse which took several months to a phone call, emails and text messaging which takes an eye blink to reach, similarly they have moved on from harp and daff to modern music instruments.
Allah has put an aesthic sense in human beings and doesn't stop us to satisfy our this very sense/need as long as we do so in the right way and don't indulge ourselves in actions which lead on to sinful acts.
May Allah guide us. |

Frankly speaking, I also like hearing music and even singing too.But to know that singing and dancing permissable or not, we should ask from the people who have good knowledge of Quran and Sunnah beside this forum.

I totally agree with Brother usmani. In fact, I also partly agree with iftikhar. He says that the moderators are following their whims and desires; well, that's the only statement I'll disagree with. I know that these people are doing what they think to be right and we don't know their intentions. But I do agree that this site is too liberal. I mean, I got a shock when it informed me that it's not compulsory for women to cover their heads. And now it's their statement about music that shocks me. I think we need to turn to more knowledgeable scholars and stronger opinions. |

I M SORRY SISTER SAHIRA. I HAVE BEEN A LITTLE EMOTIONAL ON SUCH ISSUES. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN WELL KNOWN SINCE CENTURIES 2 ALL THE UMMA, AS A PRACTICAL CONCENSUS WHICH IS THE DEFINITION OF SUNNAH IN WORDS OF PEOPLE OPERATING THIS SITE.IN OTHER WORDS SINCE CENTURIES THIS HAS BEEN THE AMAL-E-TAWATUR OF ALL MUSLIM UMMA THAT THEY KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT MUSIC IS HARAM. |
