Is music lawful or unlawful in Islam?

that he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful..."" Bukhari Vol. 7, Book 69, Hadith 494
Or
"That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of `Id-ul-Fitr or `Id ul Adha while the Prophet was with her and there were two girl singers with her, singing songs of the Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu Bakr said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet said, "Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an `Id (i.e. festival) and this day is our `Id."' Bukhari Vol. 5, Book 58, Hadith 268

There are no verses that prohibit music in islam and Allah gave i think david the psalms which includes music and singing in it doesnt it? I think if music WAS haram then Allah would have given him something different. I think the prophet pbuh couldve been referring to the pre islamic nude woman music practice? I found a website that goes into detail about this issue. Ill try to find it for you

Assalamu alaikum dear brothers,

Allah gave psalms to David which contained songs and were sang with musical instruments.

The use of musical instruments is an information you get from the bible, the most unauthentic book in the world.

Even if Allah permitted David to use musical instruments, that doesn't mean we ummat e muhammad are permitted to do it.

According to the bible, Jesus drank wine. SO LET'S DRINK WINE.

And as far as I know, only the instrument 'daff' is permitted. People used those while they were receiving the prophet pbuh in madina. Notice that in the hadith were the prophet told Abu Bakr to let the little girl sing, he was playing a daff.

And singing is halal without instruments andf vulgur sayings. There are many nasheeds like that.

Salam,
Tahmeed
