Great Scholars of Islam on Music. Is Music Haram?

The companions had Ijma' (Consensus) on the prohibition of Music, all the four madhaahib, and major scholars say it's haram. So who's saying this stuff is halal?

At first, I was angry when I found out music is haram but now, I had accepted the fact because I know I'm giving it up for the sake of Allah.

@KARNAGE94

you cant use example of previous prophets, because as the ulama said All previous shariahs are abrogated with the coming of the messenger of Allah (saw).

I'm a muslim and i make music. I don't get away from Allah so therefore it's not Haram for me. 

[mrahman1992]

Yes listening to musical instruments is haram or songs with obscene lyrics, but singing with the natural voice about good things haram? Come on. What is wrong with essentially just speaking in a beautiful tone about good things? Thats is nowhere to be found in any hadith. Saying something is Haram is a massaive claim as you are essentially claiming that Allah himself has forbade the specific act. I dont understand why despite this people love to make things haram without evidence

@Ogou123 well lets just say, that in the days of Mohammed pbuh, there were people who were singing and playing musical instruments, as Mohammed pbuh said: no one can forbid anything except allah and his holy book the Qur'an, of course im not saying you should listen to it, its mobah though. but in the quran it does say dont encourage forbidden things sooo, if you listen about songs that are about drinking alcohol, or zina, thats haram to listen to :) but this is my understanding :)

[Ogou123]

@mrquick168 Yes, thank you, it is clear :) Music is permissible on certain occasions such as the two EIds and weddings. It also has certain guidelines such as the type of musical instrument used(i.e. the duff), the type of songs and so on.. However, on normal days, it is not permissible. Furthermore, the music nowadays are so corrupted..why would anyone who would like to get closer to Allah want to listen to them? Please reflect.

@Ogou123 Aisha (R) narrated that during the days of Mina, on the day of Eid Al-Adha, two girls were with her, singing and playing on a hand drum. The Prophet SAW was present, listening to them with his head under a shawl. Abu Bakr then entered and scolded the girls. The Prophet SAW, uncovering his face, told him, "Let them be, Abu Bakr." i think thats clear for you

@astrocientista- Sorry bro, I just read your comment. I wouldn't chance it man. I mean, I have times where I listen to music (like for a few minutes, once or twice in a few months) and I feel bad about it! And then I remember what Allah's punishment is. So I try to stay away from it as much as possible (NB: that doesn't mean I am totally free of 'music'. Sometimes I fall into this trap). I ask Allah to help us all insh'ALLAH.

Music is my religion.

[Ogou123]

@Icenstoiler Yes, it may be hard at first. It was also hard for me. That's why, we have to keep praying to Allah to give us strength and be sincere in giving it up for the sake of Allah. The problem with music is, it takes us away from the Quran and ultimately, Allah. Trust me, when you stop listening to music, you'll feel a lot better because you can feel you iman increasing :)

@Ogou123 well, im very angry about that... because i always felt like music would help me in every situation... its like someone would come and tell me that it was wrong to do much sports and i would effect in a strange way... because for me it was all the time clear that sports is good for u and the same @music...
