^^ the girls that sang tala albadru alaina ... its reported that they were minors who were singing..
I Completly Agree with Faris Uddin. on the Issue.
A lil off the topic but just to Reply to BH.
this topic is debateable but am sure if i start debating hardcore ... i know for a fact FATWAS are gonna fly in every direction, but i wud say that Any form of music that leads away from the actual intent that wud be haram such as indian songs - unless the GS muftis agree other wise.
what is permissable in ''
MY PERSONAL'' opinion is things like qawali but to the extent that you understand what its about and u understand the intention for listening to it .eg Allah hoo Allah hoo by Nusrat Fateh Ali khan. how ever if Rahat fateh Ali sang something which has nothing to do with the praise of the Prophet SAW or to do with praise of a Saint or nothing to do with Allah being mentioned. but he sang it in qawali format .. thas haram.
As for listening to a Woman reciting a Naat, its perfectly permissable in MY opnion AGAIN ...with the condition that you are NOT listning to her Naat cos of the Voice and have no idea what the naat is about. and ur just listning cos you like the sound of her voice . then this wud be not permissable. And the Naat is heard for the sole purpose .. which is the praise of the Prophet SAW.
Anywayss, this is my opinion. Now where are the GS Fatwa Officials to Dish out the Fatwas
