MUSIC IN ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE: ISSUES AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

Authors

  • Dr. Ahmet ALKAN

Abstract

This paper delves into the discourse on music within Islamic jurisprudence and provides several recommendations on the topic. In light of globalization, the role of music in the formation of cultural and social identities has become increasingly significant. However, the stance on music within Islamic jurisprudence has been approached through various interpretations throughout history. Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, this study offers a comprehensive analysis by referencing religious texts and diverse juristic viewpoints on music. The findings of the research suggest that approaches advocating for music under certain conditions are more justifiable than the view of music as strictly halal (permissible) or haram (forbidden). Furthermore, the perspectives of numerous scholars on music are examined. The goal of this study is to shed light on contemporary views by conducting an in-depth exploration of the rulings on music within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence.
