Islamic Music

Here you will find links to various websites with Islamic music. There is a difference of opinion among the scholars about what kind of music is halal. To learn more, visit my Fiqh of Music page, which contains a brief summary of the Islamic regulations about music and a message to young Muslims. With the each of the links here, I have provided a brief description of the type of music found at that site; if you believe that the type of music listed is haram then you can avoid it. These links are provided as a reference only and the music at each one does not necessarily reflect the views of the webmaster. But in any case - enjoy!
