ISLAMIC RULING ON MUSIC AND DANCING
First, I will come to music than I come to dance and as far as music is concerned our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said musical instruments as a general rule they are prohibited except He gives permission for the duff, that's a one-sided open drum beside that the Prophet prohibited it because if you analyze it takes a person away from the remembrance of Allah the Almighty, that is the reason when we hear all these film songs whether it be Hindi or any other language, you find that in these songs most of the words that are mention, they are far away from reality, you know the hero tells the heroine, I will get the stars for you, I will get the moon for you, LOL.
We know it's not possible, no man can get the stars or the moon
for his lover but yet we keep on repeating so because of this
general rule is that music does take a person from the
remembrance of the Almighty and that is a reason our Beloved
Prophet (SAW) prohibited music in instrument except for duff or
as generally with your voice, for example: when a person
recites the Quran and his voice is good, that's permitted
because that takes a person towards Almighty Allah. The musical
instruments along with background do create a
different ambiance otherwise singing is (Mubah) optional as
long as the words of the song they take you towards your
creator Allah. If the words of the song take you away from the
Allah even that type of song is prohibited.
Now coming to the second part of the question that is dance,
Why is dancing prohibited? There is no verse in Quran or any
Hadith that I know of which say dancing is Haram but normally
because people dance to show to the other people, you know we
have dance performance on the stage and thousands of watching
you so normally in terms of Hijab reason and we wouldn't like
to expose our ladies, our mothers, our sisters, our daughters
on the stage and thousands of people looking at them so any so
any profession in which the body is used as a show as to
entertain the people, it is prohibited that is the reason
dancing in public and dancing in parties where the
opposite sex mixing many times and the rules of
dancing they conflict with the rule of Islamic Shariah
and normally today we have girlfriends and boyfriends and
you dance in front of other people so because it breaks the
system of Islamic Hijab and that is the reason first face it is
prohibited.
We have to realize that many times when you dance, you dance in
public, you dance in parties and you move around otherwise with
your wife you can do what you want as long as it doesn't go
against the Islamic Shariah but because most of the time
dancing exploits the body and it includes singing, dancing. We
Muslims love and protect our mothers, our daughters and we
don't want to exhibit them and that is the reason profession
which involves singing in public or dancing or modeling,
these professions are prohibited.
