# I heard there was a secret chord, that David played, and it pleased the Lord.
But you don’t really care for music, do you? #
The first lines from the song “Hallelujah”
One of the arguments used by those in favour of the permissibility of music is that Prophet Dawood, ‘alayhis salam, is reported to have used instruments – Allah knows best.
That is why I thought the above lyrics would be quite fitting for my début stage production, based on one of the most fiercely contested fatwas in Islam…
“Music is Haram!”… The Musical
Of course, the score would have to be either voice-only, duff, maybe some b-box… just to ensure neutrality/ respect/ bums on seats. And, cuz, y’know, I also kinda follow the ‘music is not good’ ruling myself. Shh.
