Chowrangi

I am taking this directly from one of my comments on another post

Regardless of whether anyone believes that something is haram or not his/her eman will become weak if he/she indulges in it. That person will have to pay a price

When a person commits a sin believing that a sin is being committed and feels regret and remorse in the heart, then this is far better then committing the sin and believing it to be halal. In the former situation, only one sin is being committed, and it is very likely that the individual may repent out of the remorse felt in the heart. In the latter case, however, in addition to the sin being committed, there is the greater sin of trying to justify it. Normally, such an individual does not receive the guidance to repent from his sin.

Those who think music is allowed in Islam usually present the Hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari in which two girls were singing in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. These young girls were singing WITHOUT any musical instruments

Some try to justify music with the Hadith in which the permissibility of playing the tambourine (daf) is mentioned. However, as stated in the works of the Fuqaha, to play the tambourine is permissible only at weddings, as it is NOT designed for sole entertainment and pleasure ONLY for announcement.
