A problem that afflicts the majority of humanity including the Muslims is a matter of singing and music. Apart from singing and music law, the majority of mankind and Muslims also prefer something that is beautiful and melodious to hear.In human nature that enjoys the sound of water splashing down, chirping birds and the sound of animals in the wild, chanting melodious voice and other sounds of nature. Singing and music are part of the beauty of art that give rise, especially for the hearing.Allowing Allah for mankind to enjoy the natural beauty, hear the melodious voices and beautiful, because that's all it was created for man.On the other hand Allah has forbidden something and have all been mentioned in the Qur `an and the hadith of the Prophet.Allah forbid that which good and bad. Halal and haram is clear.● Prophet. said:`Indeed it is clear that lawful and unlawful is clear. Among them there are doubtful, many people do not know. Who is keeping the doubtful, then selamatlah religion and honor. And who fell on the doubtful, then fell in the unlawful `. (Bukhari and Muslim).So it is clear all the affairs of Muslims. Allah does not allow mankind to live in confusion, everything has been arranged in the Islamic Sharia is very clear, as he explained the sun at noon.Therefore, all humans should be a commitment on the Islamic Sharia, which is their way of life.How Islam talks about singing and music?The term commonly used in the Hanafi madhhab on the issue of singing and music are included in the scope of ta `Maa Umm bihi balwa (something that happens to people a lot).So the discussion about these two issues must be resolved. And in deciding the law on these two issues, whether lawful or unlawful, must be true - true propositions based on a saheeh (correct) and sharih (obviously). And tajarud, which is only subject to and following the course that is the source of Islamic foundation Al-Qur `an, Sunnah and Ijma` saheeh. Not affected by the disposition or propensity of individuals and customs of a society or culture.Before discussing the opinion of the scholars of the second issue and the discussion of arguments, we need to sit two problems. Singing and music in Islamic jurisprudence, including the category muamalah or world affairs and not worship.Thus bound by the rules:1. Basic law on something (muamalah) is halal (permissible).● al-Baqarah (cows) 29: `He is Allah, who made everything on earth to you`. So to decide the law on the issue of illicit muamalah including singing and music must be supported by proof that the authentic basis and sharih.● Prophet. said:`` Allah Aza wa Jalla has set obligations, thou shalt not neglect, set hudud, do not be broken, do not forbid you to do something. And silent on something, as a blessing for you and not for forgetting, then do not you been looking for (legal) `. (Reported by Ad-Daruqutni).Halal is something that God in His Book halalkan. And illegitimate is something that God forbade in His Book. While that God let stand then that is something that dima afkan `` (Reported by at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and al-Hakim).In law there is singing and music are agreed and there is a dispute.Forbid the singing scholars are agreed that contains obscene lyrics, dirty and obscene. As in other words, in general, dirty and nasty forbidden in Islam.Scholars also agreed to allow a good song, evocative morale and not dirty, filthy and invite lust, not sung by a female stranger and without musical instruments.Adapaun besides the scholars differed, as follows:Jumhur scholars menghalal a hearingsinging, but it turned into a bastard in the following conditions:1. If accompanied munkar, such as khomr drinking, gambling etc..2. If worrisome causes a fear of fitnah like love lust at a woman or vice versa.3. If the cause neglect and abandon obligations, such as the prayer or delay, postpone, etc.. Maliki madhhab, ash-Syafi `i and Hanbali some argue that hearing the song is makruh.4. If you hear of a foreign woman, the more makruh.● According to Maliki that hearing damage muru singing `ah.● As for the ash-Syafi `i because it contains lahwu.The cleric who justifies songs, including: Abdullah ibn Ja `far, Abdullah bin Zubair, Ibn al-Mughirah Syu` bah, Usama bin Zaid, Umran ibn Husayn, Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan ibn Abi Ribah Atha, Abu Bakr Al-Khallal, Abu Bakr Abdul Aziz, Al-Gazali, etc..So in general it can be concluded that the scholars justify to Muslims who listen to good singing if it be free of all kinds are forbidden, as mentioned above.While the law relating to the use of musical instruments and listen to it.The scholars also disagree.Jumhur clerics forbidden musical instruments. According to some hadith, among others, as follows:"It will be among my people, a people who justifies adultery, silk, The wine and the tools that neglect". (Bukhari).● From Nafi that Ibn 'Umar heard a shepherd flute, so he covered telingannya with two fingers and turn the vehicle off the road. He said: `O Nafi` do you hear? `. I replied: `Yes`. Then continue berjalanannya until I said: `No`. Then Ibn 'Umar raised his hand, and turned his vehicle into another road and said: I saw the Messenger of Allah. shepherds heard the flute and then do like this' (Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).● From Umar ibn Husayn that the Messenger of Allah. said about this people: `Eclipses, earthquakes and slander. Said one of the Muslims: `O Messenger of Allah when it happened? 'Apostle replied:` If the ladies, music and liquor dominant `(Reported by At-Tirmidhi).The scholars discussing and disputing the hadiths about the illicit nature of singing and music.1. The first hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari in Shahihnya, from Abi Malik Al-Ash `ari ra. Although this hadith found in Bukhari hadeeth, but the scholars memperselisihkannya. Many of those who say that this hadith is mualaq (sanadnya disconnected), of which is said by Ibn Hazm.Besides, among the scholars said that the honor and the sanad of this hadith does not survive the shock (idhtirab). Please say that this hadith shohih, as contained in shohih Bukhari hadith, but this is still hadith texts in general, does not designate specific tools to its name. Limitation that exists is when he neglects.2. Hadith to-2 as said by Abu Dawud hadith unjust.Even if this hadeeth shohih, then the Messenger of Allah is not clear mengharamkannya. The Prophet even listen as well as by Ibn Umar. 3. While the third hadith is the hadith ghorib.And other hadiths related to the laws of music, if examined it turns out no one shohih. The cleric who justifies such music as revealed by Imam Ash-Syaukani in his book, Nailul Authar is as follows:● Medina and other scholars, such as clerical and jama `ah Dzahiri Sufi ahlu provide ease in singing with the guitar and violin, although`.● Also narrated by Abu Mansur Al-As-Syafi Bagdadi `i in his book that Abdullah ibn Ja` far assume that the singing does not matter, even allowing for the female slaves of his own singing and listening to his voice.And it happened in the caliphate Commander of the Faithful Ali.● As soon as Abu Mansur also narrated a similar thing on Qodhi Syuraikh, Said bin Al Musayyib, Atho bin abi Ribah, Az-Zuhri and ash-sya `bi.● Imam Al-Haramain in his book, An-Nihayah and Ibn Abi Ad-Dunya is quoting from Al-Al-Muarikhiin Itsbaat; that Abdullah bin Zubair have female slaves and guitar. And Ibn 'Umar had his house was next to no guitar, Ibn Umar said: `What is this, O friend of the Prophet. then get him Ibn Zubair, Ibn Umar pondered and then said: `It mizan Syami (musical instrument) of Sham?`. Ibn Zubair said: `In this sense one can balance`. And narrated from Al-Al-Qofaal Rowayani of that madhhab Malik ibn Anas allow singing with musical instruments.Thus scholarly opinion on listening to musical instruments. And if examined closely, then Muta `ulama akhirin which forbids musical instruments because they take the attitude waro` (carefully). They see the damage incurred his day.While the Salaf from among friends and tabi `in the instrument justifies because they see there is no proof either of the Al-Qur` an and hadith are clear mengharamkannya. So that is returned to the original law is permissible.Therefore, for Muslims who listen to songs and music must consider the following factors:1. Lyrics of the songs sung.Law relating to the lyrics of this is like the law given at every speech and other expression. That is, if the charge either by `Personality, the law allowed. And when bad according muatanya `Personality, then banned.2. Musical Instruments are used.As has been disclosed in advance that, the basic laws that apply in Islam is that everything is permissible unless there is basically a clear prohibition. With this provision, the musical instruments used to accompany singing a good song is basically allowed.While the instrument agreed upon by jumhur bolehnya cleric is ad-dhuf (musical instrument that is struck). The musical instruments are forbidden to listen to it, the scholars differed from each other. One thing agreed upon is that all the tools it is not allowed if neglected.3. Appearance way.Must be kept to maintain appearances of things that are prohibited such as exposure `Personality of love lust, sex, pornography and ikhtilath.4. Brought result.Although something is permissible, but if the result is strongly suspected that forbidden things such as neglect of prayer, the emergence of the audience who are un-Islamic act as a direct response and the like, then it becomes forbidden as well. In accordance with the rules Saddu Adh dzaroi `(closes the door disobedience).5. Aspects Tasyabuh or likeness With kaafir.Special device, and the way of presenting a special model that has become characteristic of a particular group of musicians who clearly deviate from the line of Islam, should be avoided so as not trapped in tasyabbuh with a people that is not justified.● Prophet. said:"Who imitates a people then he is including them". (Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud).6. People who sing.Unlawful for the Muslims who overheard singing from a woman who is not relative.● Al Ahzab (the allies) 32: "O wives of the Prophet, ye are not like other women, if you may become pious. So do not be subject in speaking so berkeinginanlah people who have the disease in his heart, and say a good word" .Thus the conclusion about the law singing and music in Islam may be useful for the Muslims and became a guide in their lives. Ameen.
