Is Listening To Music Haram Or Maqruh?
Drugs are considered haram because their impact is the same or worse than alcohol – one losing control over his mind and therefore not being able to make sane decisions. Music, whether it’s fast or slow does not have that impact. The permissibility or impermissibility of any music is based on whether or not it has any immoral or polytheistic aspects.
As long as there is nothing objectionable, it doesn’t matter whether it has any specific religious connotations ( of other religions ), as long as they are not violating our religious principles ( as mentioned above ). The translation seems to be praise of God. Christians also believe in God and claim monotheism. It is their interpretation of monotheism which has polytheism in it and hence our objection.
