Is Dancing A Sin?
-
Actually I am also interested to have this topic debated. It is well known that people dance in "muslim" countries, and I myself don't see why it should be forbidden. I rather think that the question comes as to the type of dance and might be the environment in which it is done or other factors.

Respectfully.Well, i live with some Indians and they have these songs and dances which are beautiful judging by the choreography but the moves are .... very seductive. Forget Britney, Beyonce or even Mya. Indian women who dance have invested in their dance more then Christina Aguilera, Madonna or even Jessica Simpson.
Peace.

When one is seriously ill and bedridden can we sing and dance around the patient?
Our lives in this world is as serious as this instance. We cannot afford to forget Allah and dance
For our hearts should tremble at the very mention of His Name;
So tremble or dance?
Music or reflection of His verses? -

If u find the dances seductive then u dont have to watch it bro. The truth is many things can be seductive depending on the mind of the beholder.

Music or reflection of His verses?Why should you forget Allah in order to dance? Why not be happy Allah exists, is there, is real and we are his creation, his worshippers? In fact, otherwise unhappy people like very much to dance. That is something nobody can take from them. Dance and sing, and rejoice in a ray of sun, in a drop of rain, in a touch of breeze... Why grudge what is joyful and caresses the body and the soul? Is not Allah al Wadud, al Latif arrahman arrahim, al badi3...? Should we be tearful because this world is a test. Which of His wonders should we deny? For which of His bounties should we not jump with joy, not be grateful. Surely bedridden people and those who suffer more and much more than the average should have others' compassion and consideration, but how being mournful can make their burden lighter? Even bedridden people can smile and laugh, and even in wheelchair people can dance...

In order to correctly assert the response one must define what type of dancing, when the dancing would occur, and in front of whom? There are a multiplexity of dynamics that go into play which could alter the answer. More information is needed. The lyrical content also would come into play as well as the attire of the person dressing, etc. etc.

YTVSalam,
Respectfully.More info?
Okay.
Let's say, you see Beyonce on big screen TV and you watch her dance.
Would this be a sin?Let's say you hear a music on the radio and you dance along?
Is this a sin?Let's say you organise a party where men and women come together to dance and you also participate.
Sinful or not?Obviously spouse dancing for a spouse is okay.
I prefer Eminem, he speaks the truth when he sings.
There are several Slovenian singers who sing only to ryme the words and to show their hardly dressed bodies.
Now that is sin.Peace.

Salam,

Okay.
Let's say, you see Beyonce on big screen TV and you watch her dance.
Would this be a sin?If you are informed to lower your gaze, then you should do such.
Let's say you hear a music on the radio and you dance along?
Is this a sin?If you are listening to a song in the privacy of your own home that does not contain lyrics in disagreement to God's commandments, then I, at current situation am not aware of any laws or commandments that find this impermissable.
Let's say you organise a party where men and women come together to dance and you also participate.
Sinful or not?Why would anyone gather for any purpose other than remembering God? The logistics of this situation are needed to further clarify...and dependant on the answer I can ascertain...are the people at the party believers? are they dressing according to Gods laws? Is the music talking of sexual inuendo? Are the ideas expressed promoting God and His Deen?
Is the music in violation of Gods laws or does it not promote betterment of ones self? Is the purpose of this gathering for the sake of Allah?Obviously spouse dancing for a spouse is okay.
What one does in the privacy of ones home as long as it does not violate Gods laws..seems permissable, but check with Gods Word for further clarification. Allahu Ellem
I prefer Eminem, he speaks the truth when he sings.
The Quran makes mention of using the best speech..if a person honestly assert that Eminems' lyrics are of the best speech, I think he should reevaluate the meaning of "best"!
There are several Slovenian singers who sing only to ryme the words and to show their hardly dressed bodies.
Now that is sin.Please justify your claim with evidence.
Peace.
It is not advisable to ascertain if something is Halal of Haram beyond the scope of the Quran. Your asking such questions can be a test for some beleivers. BEWARE! Seek God as Guide not those of us here. I would advise you to rephrase questions in the format of obtaining support from the belivers as to the location of the Quranic verses that give evidence in reference to the specific topic studying.
And ask your Lord to increase you in knowledge.
May the Lord forgive all of the beelivers.

Why should you forget Allah in order to dance?
When I remember Allah, I fear my short comings and my impurity that I believe not in Him totally without associating something, some one etc. I am just saying what I am and my posting is my true self.It is not even exchange of ideas.
Why not be happy Allah exists, is there, is real and we are his creation, his worshippers? In fact, otherwise unhappy people like very much to dance. That is something nobody can take from them. Dance and sing, and rejoice in a ray of sun, in a drop of rain, in a touch of breeze... Why grudge what is joyful and caresses the body and the soul?

YTVSalam,
Respectfully.You're right, i absolutely agree. Thank you for reminding me. I was merely asking others to see what they think, i was not asking in order to follow them - humans. Just to see their views.
No offence.
I do ask my Lord to install peace in my heart, to increase me in knowledge, to give me lots of good health and lots of patience.
May The Exalted God The Most Merciful guide us all and gives us strentght to survive this life and guide us to Paradise.
Peace.

These were the exact verses I had in mind. I do not think the particular verse is limited to dancing. I think it is very clear do not ....and they (F) do not beat/strike with their (F) feet to be known what they (F) hide from their decoration/beauty ....
I think this verse means just what it says..
so therefore if your form of dance require you to do the above then it wouldnt be advisable to do it in a public place.
And as far as the knowledge I have which is limited..due humanness..
Since when is dancing considered "humble"?
Aren't the belivers supposed to be "humble"?
If you are indeed humble, why would you want to dance in public thus drawing attention to yourself. thus the exact opposite of humble, right?
Please give me feedback.

Some of my thoughts exactly. But why do you think the same isn't addressed to men in ayat 2431? I wonder if anyone has any ideas about it.

Answer this
When addressing issues regarding men and woman does the quran always address both men and woman, simultaneously? Give examples either way.
