Ghamidi Sahab Missed One Sahih Hadith Regarding Music
Even if this Hadith is Sahih and is actually talking about some musical instrument in reality ( because the focus of this narration seems to be on intoxicants and Gambling ), it would still be studied in the light of the following discussion : Discussion 59741 • Reply 59766 As a matter of Principle , Ahadith and/or separate incidents and individual reports are not a source of any law, because of certain inherent limitations with their nature of transmission, they are to be understood in the light of Quran and Sunnah.

Asalamualaikum Mr. Somroo, There is a discussion on the word ‘Kubah’ in the video below at 34:15, where Ghamidi Sahab clarifies that it has many uses, as I showed you above. So, deducing a prohibition on music based on the hadith that you’ve mentioned seems unreasonable in my opinion. https://www.javedahmedghamidi.org/#!/video/5aabdd90b951cb6c099eb92f Manzoor ul Hasan Sahab’s articles on music are very good and comprehensive. I believe he has also discussed the term ‘kubah’, but I’m not sure if the articles below include that discussion. I think some articles may have been lost while the websites were being upgraded, although I’m not sure. https://ghamidi.tv/articles/music-and-islam-1759 https://ghamidi.tv/articles/syed-manzoor-ul-hassan-542 https://ghamidi.tv/articles/ahadees-prophets-narratives-pertaining-to-music-1182
