| | Music and Singing Haram? |
 | | In order to create an atmosphere of joy and happiness, singing is recommended on festive occasions such as the days of 'Eid, weddings and wedding feasts, births, 'aqiqat (the celebration of the birth of a baby by the slaughter of sheep), and on the return of a traveler. |
 | | However, since singing is in many cases associated with drinking parties and night clubs, many scholars have declared it to be haram or at least makruh. |
 | | And he who listens to singing intending neither obedience nor disobedience is doing something neutral and harmless, whicis similar to going to the park and walking around, standing by a window and looking at the sky, wearing blue or green cloths, and so on. |
