Learning how to play musical instruments

11 years ago By admin

Q: I want to know if it is permissible for a Muslim child to learn to play a musical instrument such as the organ (electric piano) through classes at home or at a special centre. There is much talk of how music stimulates creativity brain growth and so on. With this in mind would it be haram to permit him to learn? We don't generally listen to music as a family but sometimes we watch (clean) movies or cartoons that have music in them.
Sometimes our son comes home from school and requests a certain song that he heard on the bus or his classmates singing to be played and we oblige by playing the song a few times on the computer. Is this permissible? Also what about allowing small children to listen to nursery rhymes and Islamic songs which have clean lyrics but also music in them - can they do this?

Q:

  1. Is it a sin to commit any act of makrooh tahreemee. How serious is it. Please give me reference from Arabic books like shami etc.
  2. After how long does a makrooh tahreemee become haraam?

Will the following be considered as aiding in sin?

Q: Is it haraam for me to make and sell furniture to people if I know it is more than likely that they will (at some point) be more than likely to use the furniture when doing haram things i.e. they would be more than likely to at some point store haram cloths in a closet or have unmarried adult relations on a bed I made, or use a table I made to eat pork or put alcoholic drinks on, or watch haram TV programs on the sofa I made and sold to them? Is making and selling these things cooperating in sin and transgression?

Is wasting time a sin and if so, is selling footballs or remote control cars to people cooperating, influencing sin, if I know they (adults) are going to
excessively waste time playing with them?
