Question ID 357 Saturday 2nd of March 2013

Question:

Salamun alaikum wRwB, I am a Muslim in the west and I do not listen to music, but when I go to certain places the people specifically the non-muslims play music, but even other people who call themselves muslims listen to music. A specific place for me is in my High School where even some of the teachers play their music from their computers and sometimes they even use music to help them teach their lessons. Should I tell the teachers to turn off the music because Islam doesn't permit music? I have been struggling with this in my mind and sometimes when I felt like I was going to tell them, I would get a little nervous and not tell them because I would get different thoughts and maybe they were doubts/waswas from shaytan that telling the people to turn off the music "may move people away from Islam". Can you please clarify for me what I should do so that I can ignore any doubts from shaytan, and Insha-Allah I will be able to do it with the help of Allah (SWT). p.s. I ride the bus to school and the bus drivers put music on and I usually just listen to nohay/latmiya & anasheed from my iPhone while the music is on so that I can ignore the music. Is this okay? Thank you Syedna,

Answer:

You keep yourself away from sinful acts including listening to music and
songs, but do not force others on that because it might have bad effect on
them. Try to explain to those who might be able to understand the Islamic
rule on music and songs and the whole reason behind all Islamic rules of
Halal and Haraam which is based only on the interest and benefit of human
being.
Wassalam.
