Islam's Shari`ah Approves of and Encourages all Types of Beneficial Art

By Shari`ah Staff

It is widely alleged that Islam disfavors art and entertainment, which is totally untrue. Shari`ah approves of and encourages all types of beneficial art and entertainment as long as they promote morals and good values. However, Shari`ah generally lays down ethics and rules that secure the non-violation of art and entertainment to the teachings of Islam and values of the Muslim communities. OnIslam Shari`ah launches this folder, one of its 10+ Fatwas Series, so as to shed light on Islam’s rulings on music, poetry, singing, etc., hoping that it would help our readers be more knowledgeable about this important topic.
