			imitating the sound of the drum machine with your mouth, the lips, your tongue, and your voice.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			This is there since a couple of centuries ago, it started.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:01:13
			In 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

			the scholars,

			There are very few scholars that you may find lately on the past that have permitted
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:08
			the use of musical instruments, there are various Hadith which have prohibited musical instruments.
I'll just go to one which is very important. It's mentioned in Sai Bukhari Hadith number 5592. The
Beloved Prophet masala Salam said
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			that they will be among my followers, some
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:30
			who will make illegal * that rizona adultery and fornication, wearing of silk, drinking of
alcoholic drinks, and the use of musical instruments as lawful as holiday.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			This is one of the signs of the art
		
00:02:36 --> 00:03:11
			before the day of judgment before the end of the world profits this is a sign that there will be
some people from his OMA who will make Xena adultery, fornication, wearing or sick drinking of
alcohol and the use of musical instruments as Halal indicating that you they will we can implement
is haram. The Prophet only permitted certain times the use of Duff, that's an open ended drum, an
IED on weddings.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			But generally all the other instruments are haram. There are various fatwas
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			since the musical instruments, haram,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:29
			a human being imitating the Haram musical instrument, according to scholars is also haram.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:12
			And when Shia Potami was asked, that is beatboxing permissible, he clearly said, even imitating the
Haram 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 the Muslim should imitate the sound of the musical instrument whether it be
dumbs whether it be other musical instruments, whether its sound, this is haram, and the Muslims
should abstain from it. Even listening to it, and even involving in making sounds of haram musical
instruments with your mouth
