I refer to two sound Traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) i.e., Sahih Ahadith to make this point clear. ![]() So it is that it is not haram to watch entertaining dance and listen to melodious songs to please our hearts. Pleasant songs and voices of the birds, tasty foods, pleasant sights of natural panoramas and gardens and enticing fragrance of flowers are all permissible. Only those pleasurable things which contain hidden potential for evil are the ones that are made haram. It is not correct, legally speaking, according to the Shariah or otherwise to hold that Sama is haram or forbidden only because it pleases the heart and one gets pleasure and happiness from it, for the reason that not all pleasant and pleasurable things are made haram, forbidden. First is the situation where Sama/Qawwali is held only for the sake of entertainment and pleasure. In other words, Sama or Qawwali falls under the neutral category. For a good purpose it is legally permissible, but if it is used for an undesirable or an evil purpose, then it becomes forbidden. ![]() Sama falls into that legal classification of acts which are technically called 'Mubah', which mean that they are Permitted by the Shariah, but have no religious value or significance.
