Ruling on sound effects and background humming | Sheikh Salih As-Suhaimi hafidhahullah

Summarised Translation: ● In reality, these so-called 'Islamic Nasheeds' are an imitation of music by means of the voice; they produce music using voice beats, humming, etc., just as Ibnul Qayyim stated in ighaathatul lahfaan: فعشنا على سنة المصطفى * وماتوا على تنتنا تنتنا We lived upon the Sunnah of Al-Mustafa (the chosen one ﷺ) * while they died upon tintinah tintinah (musical beats) ● They have introduced an artificial kind of music using human voice and sound effects rather than musical instruments [the end result is one!] ● The similitude of such ploys is like that of the Jews; when Allāh made the fat of carcases haraam, they melted the fat and sold it and ate its price. In the same way, these people create music using their voice, and it sounds just like music... ● This is a waste of time and effort. It is from the deceptions of Iblees. Islam is free from this!
