Sautush Shaitaan – Music and Singing The Voice of Shaitaan by: Majlisul Ulama of South Africa

One of the most effective tools of enticement which Dajjaal will offer will be music and singing with which he will lure, entrap, and destroy people in the cauldron of Kufr, he will boil for them.
Music and singing are the voices of Shaitaan. It germinates nifaaq (hypocrisy) in the heart. It was invented by Shaitaan. Allah Ta’ala awarded it to Shaitaan at the time of his expulsion from the heavens. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was sent specially to destroy musical instruments. It will be a powerful tool of the entrapment of Dajjaal. (Ahaadith)
The simple, straightforward fatwa on the question of music and singing is what the Qur’aan and Sunnah proclaim. Casting aside the plethora of arguments, differences and technicalities, the unambiguous Ruling of Kitaabullah and the Sunnah of the Rasool is:
“Music and singing are lahwul hadeeth (futile falsehood), zoor (falsehood / deception) and Sautush Shaitaan (the voice of shaitaan)”. (Qur’aan)
