the sound of bagpipes is very soft and mellow though. I think it can be compared to (have the same effects) as classical music.

I hear it a lot in the mornings for some reason. I like it.

Looks like this could be one of the Sayed's revised fatwas, so better to write in and ask for clarification: :unsure:

552. Question: Is it permissible to listen to revolutionary songs accompanied by sounds of piano, lute, drum, wind-pipe, and electronic piano?

Answer: If the music accompanying it is that which is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings, it is not permissible to listen to it

Yes it is real , and he considered himself an advanced scholar because he know how to play music .

Maybe you haven't heared about Hizbullah playing symphonies in the UNESCO in Lebanon . They were proud of it for an extent they put it one the journals and on Al Manar news .

From Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani (HA):

In the name of Allah, the Most High

Salamun Alaikum

If it is considered an instrument of Lahv, it is neither permissible to play it nor is it permissible to listen to it.

Note: Lahv is music or a sound that is appropriate for gatherings of entertainment, amusement and moral depravity.

My friend is inviting me to a concert in Ann Arbor. The concert does not involve any lyrics and the instruments that are being played are the oud, piano and the qanum. I have included a brief description of what those instruments are below. I read Sayyid Seeistani's answer that says anything that involves music in an entertainment or amusement gathering it is not permissible to listen. This concert will not involve dancing. I did a search in the website for each instrument and I didn't get any clear answers. Usually the marj3 has a "if, then" fatwa which means ultimitley it goes back to what the moutaqalad preceives what decision they will make based on what the marj3 says. I find the moutaqalad can be bias and can't make rational decisions. That's why I'm asking you as neutral muslims, is it haram to attend this concert? I think I can answer the question to myself. Based on the fatwas the concert is a gathering for entertainment and amusement. It will be spirtually contaiminated.

Abdullah Chhadeh is the Arab world’s most innovative qanun (an 81-string Arabic zither) player, whose music reflects his journey from growing up in the Golan Heights and Damascus

the oud, an Arabic lute that conveys the subtle microtones and modal shifts of the classical Arabic repertoire. Trio Joubran’s music is arrestingly fresh, yet rooted in the Arab tradition.

Lebanese pianist Rami Khalifé, who appeared last year with his father, Marcel, studied at The Juilliard School and recently released his second recording. Khalifé performs avant-garde jazz compositions and improvisations that weave the classical, world, and Arabic music genres together.

if u fallowing sayed sistani then here is some answeard qustion from his website

§ Question : Can a Muslim listen to music?

§ Answer : Music that is permissible is the music that does not entail entertainment in gatherings held for that purpose. Forbidden music is the music that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings.

The expression “the music or the song that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings” does not mean that the music or the song’s tune amuses the heart or changes the mental state because there is nothing wrong in it. The expression actually means that the person listening to the music or the song’s tune - especially if he is an expert in these matters - can distinguish that this tune is used in the entertainment and amusement gatherings or that it is similar to the tunes used therein.

2

§ Question : Please specify if any music is allowed in Islam?

§ Answer : Music is an art that has spread far and wide during these days. Some varieties of this art are permissible while others are forbidden; therefore, it is permissible to listen to the first while it is forbidden to listen to the latter.

3

§ Question : Is it haram for a Muslim to listen to music? If yes , why please explain?

§ Answer : Frivolous and licentious music is haram. The crucial line is in it [music] being commensurate with the gatherings of entertainment and moral depravity

and here is the website to be sure about it http://www.sistani.org/html/eng/main/index...lang=eng∂=4

My point is that life is to be enjoyed. Music and the arts bring joy to many both in the experience and in the creation.

oh I thought what you wrote was in red and I was referring my response to it. Then Alhamd'Allah I didn't see what you wrote, because it looks like it wasn't an appropriate demeanour.
