The legality of music and singing in the Shari'ah (The Islamic Law) is a topic which is hotly debated amongst individuals and and the scholars of our present day.

The sources of Islam, the Qur'an and Sunnah, as well as the rulings of the Sahaba (Companions of the Prophet (saws)), the Tabi'in (the generation that followed the sahaba and learned from them), and Imams Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, and Ibn Hanbal are unanimous in their verdicts, that music and singing, with certain limited exceptions, is haraam. This ruling is arrived at through the analysis of the texts of the sahih ahadith narrated by Al-Bukhari and Ibn Majah, in which the word al-ma'azif (musical instruments) occurs. Since the wording of the text is general, it's directive encompasses all types of musical instruments except the daff, whose permissible use is a specification of the general text, or an exception to the general ruling. As for singing, the sun-nah clearly designates the general prohibition on singing under certain circumstances. The hadith found in al-Hakim describes the singing voice coupled with music as imbecilic and sinful. Naturally, singing coupled with music is forbidden, since music is forbidden. As for innocent singing accompanied by the daff, this has been allowed on specific occasions. Singing without accompaniment is permitted ...

[With English subtitles] My new 10-minute documentary-short film shot from a Canon Powershot. This video is featured on Maldives' Minivan News website with a news item at this link: minivannews.com This video also made "odd" news on Maldives Youth TV: www.youtube.com This is a tribute to Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down", one of my all-time favorite feature films - that blurs the line between realism and popular entertainment. I almost didn't take my camera that morning! Nothing out of the ordinary could happen on an early morning when everyone is just rising, I thought to myself. But then I remembered that 'cosmic coincidence' is that rare opportunity unexpectedly presented in front of you. So in a way I was just lucky to come across this scene. Enjoy! I dedicate this video to Tengku Lorena, Al, Shaari, Narcu, Yasir, Ayya, Ali Rafeeq and Ramzzu.
