Zakir Naik – Is Beat Boxing Allowed in Islam

			The next question
		

			is from Abdullah Muhammad, from Bangladesh
		

			if beatboxing allowed in Islam, first let's understand what is beat boxing. beat boxing is a vocal
percussion
		

			imitating the sound of the drum machine with your mouth, the lips, your tongue, and your voice.
		

			This is there since a couple of centuries ago, it started. Since the 19th century, though the word
was then called as beatboxing. Originally beatboxing was imitating the drum machine. And later on as
time passed on, they started imitating the other musical instruments and now, lately, almost all the
instruments are imitated by the human vocal voice using the mouth, the tongue, the lips. And it was
made famous in the 20th century in the late 1960s, by The Beatles, Paul McCartney.
		

			History tells us that even Michael Jackson made it famous and so on and so forth.
		

			Coming to the question,
		

			that is beat boxing, permitted in Islam.
		

			Almost all
		

			the scholars,
		

			they agree that musical instruments are Haram in Islam.
		

			There are very few scholars that you may find lately. On the past that have permitted
		

			the use of musical instruments, there are various added which have primary musical instruments. I'll
just go to one which is very important. It's mentioned in say Buhari, number 5590, that our beloved
prophet masala Sallam said
		

			that they will be among my followers, some
		

			who will make illegal * that Xena adultery and fornication, wearing of silk, drinking of
alcoholic drinks, and the use of musical instruments as lawful as halaal.
		

			This is one of the signs of the art
		

			before the day of judgment before the end of the world. A prophet says this is a sign that there
will be some people from his oma who will make zinna adultery fornication, wearing acidic drinking
of alcohol and the use of musical instruments as halaal indicating that using music instruments is
haram. The Prophet only permitted certain times the use of Duff, that's an open ended drum
		

			and eat on weddings.
		

			But generally, all the other instruments are Haram. There are various fatwas
		

			since the musical instruments, Haram,
		

			a human being imitating the Haram musical instrument, according to scholars is also Haram.
		

			And when Shay potami was asked, that is beatboxing permissible, he clearly said, even imitating the
harem instrument, the musical instruments with your mouth, whether it be drums, whether it be other
instruments, it is forbidden, it is prohibited. So beatboxing is not permissible for the Muslims. It
is not allowed that a Muslim should imitate the sound of the musical instrument, whether it be
drums, whether it be other musical instruments, whether sound This is haram, and the Muslim should
abstain from it, even listening to it, and even involving in making sounds of haram musical
instruments with your mouth
