Bukhari 5590: Correct Meaning Of Alhir (الحِرَ), Ibn-e-Hazm & Ibn-e-Habban 6272
I might be going slightly off topic here just wanted to add 2 things to this discussion:- 1) I heard from Sheikh Wasim Yusuf that Imma Albani also weakened Bukhari 5590 is that true? 2) the word Ma’azif does not literally translate to “musical instrument” but rather “the thing on which ‘a’zf’ (playing something in a musical manner to produce a tune) is done on.” Same rule as the word Maqtool means “the person on who Qatl is done on” or the word “musallah” means “the place upon which ‘Sallah’ is done. Using the above logic anything used to make music (everyday objects like table, chair etc) can be a ma’zaf. Therefore even the Acapella music and humming used in nasheeds and background music for Islamic videos does qualify as the use of ma,azif as the artist is using his vocal chords and mouth as the ma’azif to do a’zf. Plz correct me if I’m wrong.
