“The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments,
idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.”
Hadith Qudsi 19:5
“Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”
“Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”
“There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ....”
— ‘Umdat al-Salik r40.0
Umdat al-Salik, the Islamic legal manual, quotes Muhammad:
Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.
On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress. Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.
This Community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”

There is but one music that is hal’al. That is the sweet tone of the muezzin chanting the call to prayer. Outside of that, hara’am.
