As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

We have answered this question many times already here on this board.

Allaah says in Soorat Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning):

�And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah�� [Luqmaan 31:6]

Also,

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

�[Allaah said to Iblees:] And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allaah�s disobedience)�� [al-Israa� 17:64]

Finally,

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

�Do you then wonder at this recitation (the Qur�aan)?

And you laugh at it and weep not,

Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing)�

[al-Najm 53:59-61]

Ikrimah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: it was narrated from Ibn �Abbaas that al-sumood [verbal noun from saamidoon, translated here as �Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing)�] means �singing�, in the dialect of Himyar; it might be said �Ismidi lanaa� [�sing for us� � from the same root as saamidoon/sumood] meaning �ghaniy� [sing]. And he said (may Allaah have mercy on him): When they [the kuffaar] heard the Qur�aan, they would sing, then this aayah was revealed.

Thus singing is haraam. In regards to TV no one can say that it is haraam but you need to avoid watching what is haraam on it.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
