As-Salamu Alaykum
Ibn Hajar Haytami has said concerning Music:
As for the condemnation of musical instruments, flutes, strings, and the like by the truthful and the trustworthy (peace be upon him) whi 'does not speak from personal caprice' (Koran 53:3-4), Let those who refuse to obey him beware lest calamity strike them, or a painful torment. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
'Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.' (Sunan Abu Dawud)
also:
'On the day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a female singer(found in the collection of Tirmizi)
also:
'Singing makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.' (Bayhaqi)
also:
'This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.' some asked: 'when will this be, O Messenger of Allah?' and he said in reply,'When singers and musical instruments appear and intoxicants (Alcohol and drugs) are held to be lawful.'
also:
There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of musical instruments. (Sahih Bukhari volume 7 hadith number 494)
All of this is explicit and compelling textual evidence that musical instruments of all types are unlawful.
(FROM IBN HAJAR HAYTAMI RAHMAHTULLAH ALAYHI - IN KAFF AL RA'A'AN MUHARRAMAT AL LAHW WA AL SAMA')
this can also be seen in Umdat us Salik under Music, song and dance on page 774-775
i have to type up some more on this issue in time to come insha'Allahj.
Wasalams
