			Assalamu alaikum.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			I'm Yazdan
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			studying in Jami'amilia
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			Islamia.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			I'm from Bihar, and I have a YouTube
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			channel.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			On this YouTube channel, I post edited video
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			clips related to
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			sports. In the edited video clips,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			I use some music to make the videos
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			better. Is it allowed that I use music
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			in my videos?
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			What should I do? Should I delete the
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			videos for my channel?
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			As far as music is concerned,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			there are hadith or abilar prophet Muhammad, peace
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			be upon him, which
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			prohibit
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			the use of music or in fact even
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			listening to music. Abilar prophet Muhammad, peace be
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			upon him, said and this hadith mentions that
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			there will be people from among my ummah.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			They'll make things that are haram. They will
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			make it halal. And from among that, it
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			is silk
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			and
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			alcohol
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			and musical instruments.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			So the use of musical instruments as per
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			the teachings of Islam, it is haram. It
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			is prohibited. The only exception, it is the
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			one-sided duff.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			Besides this, all other musical instruments, their haram,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			whether they be listening to musical instrument, music
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			songs which contain music, or whether it be
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			playing musical instruments.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			Unfortunately, we see that many of the Muslims,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			they make certain videos which have music in
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			it. We see certain
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			Muslims. They have songs. The words are very
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			good. They are talking about Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			ta'ala. They're talking about the teachings of Islam,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			but it contains music. Again, this is haram.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			This is against the teachings of Islam.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			So whatever videos you're editing, what I would
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			request you is that to keep music away
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			from it. Keep these edited videos free from
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			music. What you can do, you have alternatives.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			You can use the one-sided duff.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			You can use
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			human voice. You can use natural sounds.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			For example,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			the sound
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			of waves,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			the sound of water.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Like even in this recording, we are using
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			the sound of water
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			and you can use other sound effects as
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			well. For example, the chopping of birds, Islamic
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			sound effects. There is no problem.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			And the videos that you have edited, if
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			it contains musics,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			see to it that you remove the music
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			from these videos. If you cannot remove the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			music, then you see to it
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			that you delete these videos from your channel.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			So when you're editing videos, see to it
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			that it's free from music. You can use
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			human voice, one-sided DAW,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			other sound effects.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			But see to it that it is free
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			from
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			music.
