Concept of Music in Islam ! by Shaykh ul Islam Dr.Tahir ul Qadri

According to Sheikh-ul-Islam Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri music which incites the love of Allah, His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), Owliya, and that of country (or Jihad) etc does not come under the category of haram.

1. Almost every Hadith which talks against music also speaks against drinking (alcohol), doing zina with girls etc. So these Ahadith criticize that kind of music which can arouse sexual desires and can lead a person to drinking and zina etc. According to those scholars, the music used in Qawali etc doesnt arouse sexual desires, but incites the love of Allah and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), so it does not come under the prohibited category.

2. There are many events where music was played in the presence of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and he didnt forbid it. As the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) cannot allow a haram thing in his presence, so music is not haram (according to those scholars).

3. On some occasions, when some Sahabi tried to stop someone from playing music, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) asked them to continue with their music. This kind of acceptance was not possible for a haram act (according to those scholars).

4. At some marriage occasions the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) ordered Sahaba to play some music and said that the difference between a marriage and zina is music (which serves as an announcement of that marriage).

--precautions and constraints--

some precautions and constraints must be observed positively. The excess of the limits of propriety should not be allowed and case be taken that vulgar and obscene practices are not indulged in and mixed gathering of man and woman be avoided on such occasion. Islam teaches morality and practice of moderation and balance tempered by good and virtuous acts on all occasions.

-- In a nutshell:----

A prominent group (including some big scholars and Sufis) holds the opinion that Qawali is permissible. According to them, music has been discouraged in Islam in a specific sense and Qawali does not fall under that (non-permissible) category.

Even those who have permitted Sima (i.e. Qawali) have done so under some strict conditions.

[ServingIslam]

Almost all of their sheikhs regularly arrange Qawalis. Hazrat Moeen-ud-Deen Chishti (RH) even requested Hazoor Ghos-al-Azam Abdul Qadir Jillani (RH) to arrange a Mafil-e-Sima (i.e. Qawali) for him.

-- Opinions of different Chains--

Different chains of Tasawuf hold different opinions about Qawali.

Naqshbandis discourage it and hold a strict opinion against it.

Qadris hold an almost neutral opinion about it (some listen to it, some discourage / oppose it, and some remain silent on it).

Chistis strongly like it and consider it an essential part in their spiritual growth.

[ServingIslam]

According to Sheikh-ul-Islam Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri music which incites the love of Allah, His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), Owliya, and that of country (or Jihad) etc does not come under the category of haram.

I'd be interested in learning more about this, could you list the hadiths that Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) asked people to continue playing music, when music was played in his presence and when he asked for music to be played at a wedding?
