A Collection of statements from the Imaams of the Four Madhaahib confirming the Ijmaa' (consensus) of Ahlus-Sunnah concerning the prohibition of Music. Said ash-Shaafi’ee (d.241H) – rahimahullaah – in al-Umm (6/209), “Indeed, music is makrooh (His statement ‘makrooh’ means that it is unlawful, since this is what it meant amongst the early people) amusement resembling falsehood. And whosoever listens to it much, then he is an idiot (safeeh) whose testimony is to be rejected.”
“And from amongst mankind there are those who purchase idle talk in order to misguide people from the path of Allaah without knowledge, and they take it as mockery. For these ones there shall be a humiliating punishment. And when Our aayaat are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he has not heard them, as if there were deafness in his ear. So give them news of a painful punishment.” [Soorah Luqmaan 31:6-7]
