Singing and fornication
Singing instigates one to commit fornication. The Holy Prophet (S) said:
“Singing is the stepping stone to fornication.”
(Mustadrak ul-Wasa’il)
Songs are responsible for awakening the latent sensual desires of man, which are soon manifested. It is the same whether one sings a song or merely listens to it. He forgets Allah (S.w.T.) and is prepared to commit any kind of indecency.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says,
“And all those wasteful pastimes are HarÄm which make one forgetful of Allah; like songs and playing musical instruments.”
Yes! Music makes one shameless and lacking in self-respect. It also destroys the feeling of love, compassion and mercy, reducing society to a nightmare.
