Takeaways

• 😀 Musical instruments are generally considered haram (forbidden) in Islam, except for certain occasions like Eid and weddings.
• 😀 The duff, a simple percussion instrument, is an exception and can be used during celebrations like weddings or Eid for girls' entertainment.
• 😀 It is not permissible to equate modern music genres (like Metallica or NWA) with the allowed use of the duff in specific contexts.
• 😀 Unintentional exposure to music, such as hearing background music in a mall, does not make it halal or sinful.
• 😀 Actively seeking out music on platforms like Spotify or YouTube is different from hearing music unintentionally and can be considered haram.
• 😀 Justifying music as halal because it is ubiquitous (e.g., in malls) is not acceptable; sin occurs when you intentionally listen to it.
• 😀 Encountering inappropriate images or behaviors in public spaces does not make them halal, similar to music being played unintentionally in public areas.
• 😀 The key difference between passively hearing something and actively listening to it determines the responsibility in Islam.
• 😀 People should avoid calling something haram 'halal' to justify their actions, as it weakens the understanding of religious teachings.
• 😀 While everyone makes mistakes and sins, it's important not to change the religious ruling to make actions feel permissible or less sinful.
