Is Music Haram?
I didn't want to publish this video but I thought the topic was interesting. It's not about the Kini.Kini Rock music because I don't care if I am the only one listening to my songs all day long. I was thinking more about our "kalilang", like, kambayok, kandarangn, kakolintang, kasagayan, etc. Are they all haram? And should we just forget about them because some of our religious leaders and learned ones decreed that they're haram?
I believe, bayok can be haram if taken seriously because it praises or makes mockery of people. But if it's only for fun among friends, how does is fare in the halal-haram scenario? I also believe that whatever you do, if it takes your mind out of the remembrance of Allah (swt) then it's haram. For example, if the adhan was called and you still keep on playing your kolintang or listening to music then that could be haram, and definitely haram if you eventually missed your prayer. But this is true for anything you do, not just playing musical instruments, listening or singing songs.
When I was living in Abu Dhabi, UAE, I remember watching young Arab girls (nationals) dancing on TV without their hijabs. They all had very long hair. Beautiful girls with beautiful hair (not like my hair). If I am not mistaken, that was some kind of UAE national dance or some cultural stuff.
Should we throw away our TVs and radios? These machines are actually musical "instruments" too, just like the kolintangs.
Further to question, should we live like the Talibans? Like prescribe burqas to our women, prevent them from getting education or work? Should we all start wearing the white Pakistani salwar and kameez, like the Tableeghs? Should all men grow beard and moustache?
Please share your thoughts.

Check out this article for a very thorough fatwa that totally proves musical instruments (besides the duff on certain occasions) to be harram:

Now, as for the thing about the Taliban and stuff, no. We should, however, follow what is prescribed in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The Prophet Muhammad(SAW) told the men to trim their mustaches and grow their beards, so yes, men should grow their beards. Getting knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim, so their should be schools for both genders. Wearing the face-veil is not obligatory, but it is seen as a blessed action, so women should wear it if they can for extra blessings.
It's all about following what is said in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and if you check out the above link, it's obvious that musical instruments (besides the Duff on certain occasions) are prohibited.
Oh, and for the thing about tvs and radios, they are not considered musical instruments as the Prophet Muhammad(SAW) and his companions saw musical instruments (they are specifically stringed instruments, woodwind instruments, brass instruments and the drums besides the duff.)
When the tv and radio play things that are forbidden, rather than just throwing them out, one should change the channel, mute it, or turn it off until the bad things are done.
I hope that helped!
