Beloved Prophet
followed by couplets regarding
the status of the Awliy Allh.
Such instruments (the drums and harps that were being used) are
arm Qat' (explicitly forbidden) in the Shari'ah !
Would the Beloved Messenger
and the Awliy
Allh be pleased with such acts?
Are those present at this gathering sinful or not? Is such Qawwli
permissible or not?
If it is permissible, then what kind of Qawwli is permissible ?
Al-Jawb (Answer):
Such Qawwli is arm. All those present in the gathering are sinful,
and all of their sin is upon those who arranged such an Urs and upon
the Qawwli singers.
Furthermore, the sin of the Qawwli singers is also upon the organiser
of such an `Urs, without the sin of the Qawwli singers being lessened
in any way, due to their sin also being upon the organiser of the `Urs,
and without the sin of those present in the gathering being lessened in
any way due to the devastation of their sin also being upon the Qawwli
singers and the organiser.
No! On the contrary, every single person present in the gathering has
his own personal complete sin, and the Qawwli singers have their own
sin separately, as well as the sin according to all of those present in the
gathering upon them in addition to this separately; and the organiser of
the `Urs has his own sin separately, the sin equivalent to the sin of the
Qawwli singers in addition to this separately, as well as the sin of all
those present in the gathering separately.
The reason for this is that the people present in the gathering were
invited by the organiser of the Urs and were only provided with the
means to commit this sin through him, and the Qawwli singers played
the music for them to listen to.
If he did not provide the means, and the drums and harps were not
played, then how would those present at the gathering have fallen into
this sin? It is for this reason that all of their sin is upon them both, and
then the cause of this sin of the Qawwli singers was that organiser of
the Urs. If he did not organise it and if he did not invite them, how
would they have come and played the music? Therefore, the sin of the
Qawwli singers is also upon the one who invited them;
Fataawa Ridawiyya Shareef
As the Fuqah e Kiraam have said about the one who, despite being
strong and healthy, takes charity, that he himself, and the one giving to
him, are both sinful. This is because if those who give to him did not
give, then he would not take up this shameful business of begging. So
their giving is the cause of his begging and all of this is apparent to
those familiar with the laws of Shari`ah; and towfeeq lies with Allh
Almighty only.
(Raddul Mukhtar, kitaab al khatar, vol 5 page 273 )
The Beloved Messenger
said, Whoever invites
towards any act of guidance will receive the reward equivalent to all
those who follow him, and there will be no reduction in any of their
reward, and whoever invites towards any act of misguidance will receive
the sin of all those who follow his invitation, and there will be no
reduction in any of their sin.
(Narrated by Imm Amad and Imm Muslim from Sayyidun Ab
Sahih Muslim kitab al ilm vol 2 page 341,
Hurayra
Musnad Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah vol 2
page 397)
The mas'ala e Nass will be taken from the Shariah of The Prophet Sall
Allahu Alaihi Wasallam, or from The Imam e Mujhtahid of Fiqh. If the
nass from the Shariah is required,Numerous Aadth have been
narrated regarding the prohibition of instruments reaching hadde
tawaatur.
It is narrated in Sa Bukhri Sharif that the Beloved Messenger
said, Indeed there will be those people in my
Ummah who will deem all the private parts of women (adultery),
silk clothing, alcohol, and musical instruments.
Fataawa Ridawiyya Shareef
.
These people do not have the least amount of intelligence, or they
purposefully act ignorant, because it is clear that it is necessary to reject
the weak in favour of the authentic, the doubtful for the decisive, and
the dubious for the definite. Furthermore, how can the Qowl be
compared with the Fel mentioned in some anecdote, but who has the
cure for such submission to desires?
If only they would know the sin as a sin after committing it and state it
as such, but this stubbornness is even more severe that they feed their
desires and then refuse the guilt, and make all (permissible) for
themselves that which is arm (forbidden). Besides this, they do not
stop here, but they, Allh Almighty forbid, slander the beloved ones of
Allh Almighty, the great elders of the Silsilah liyah Chishtiya
by falsely attributing this act to them.
They neither have fear of Allh Almighty, nor shame in front of the
people. Even though Mabb e Ilhi Sayyidi wa Mawli Nizam ul Haq
himself says in
wal Dn Suln ul Awliy
Kashful Qan an Usl il Sam` in the blessed era of the great Shaykh
due to the decisive order of the Shaykh himself.
Muslims! This is the Fatwa (ruling) of the leader and the master of
. After this
Silsilah liyah Chistiyah Suln ul Awliy
conclusive ruling is there any way for the slanderers to show their face?
