Singing programme
The venue of a singing programme is a place where descends divine retribution. Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
“Do not even enter houses, the inhabitants of which are deprived of divine mercy.”
He (a.s.) is reported to have also said,
“The house where music is played is not safe from sudden disasters. Supplications at such a place are not answered. Angels do not enter this place.”
(al-KÄfi and Mustadrak ul-Wasa’il)
It has been established in the preceding chapter that when the divine punishment descends, it does not discriminate. The excuse, “Though we go to places where there is music and song, but we dislike it in our hearts”, seems unlikely to be acceptable. Dislike needs to be expressed by ones action, also. Songs and music should be discouraged.
