Those who prohibit music do not understand their Islam, or the basic gifts in life that God gave them. Our daily life around us is full of music. All these are but few of the music producing instruments in our life. God created the music in our universe like the air and water and many other provisions. We cannot prohibit the water because someone cooks his pork in it and we cannot prohibit the air because someone contaminates it with marijuana fumes.
Music is as pure as the fresh spring water and the fresh breeze of the ocean.
It is the human beings who can use it or abuse it. Music is one of the great provisions from God that we should be grateful for. We should use it and enjoy it like we enjoy all the other provisions from God. If you indulge in eating your favorite food or drinking your favorite juice to the point you do not have time to do all your other duties towards God, then you committing a sin. We have to remember that some music and songs that are used to advocate violence, sex or drugs are haram because of its contents and not because music or singing per se is haram.
