    Anythings can be haram if so exegerated, but when all of it used to be a vehicle to devote God why not.

      peace imran,

      a couple, singing songs to eachother or listening to songs with "sexual references" is not wrong. And sexual references don't necessarily mean objectifying women.
      I know there are songs that do that, and i don't support them.
      Sexual references might usually be wrong, but there are exceptions to every rule, that's all i meant.

        peace phoenix

        give me examples. What kind of sexual references? And are there exceptions to every rule because you WANT exceptions to every rule?

            peace imran,

            example
            "you have a sexy body, i want to f you" (if i get banned, you'll pay).
            Can you think of no situation where this could be appropriate?
            and why can't there be exceptions to rules?

            p.s. I'm not as serious as i sound.

              If music is harram then David was lying in the last psalm of the book of psalms that is confirmed by the Quran as being sent from God.

              Read it.

              If Music is harram tell that to Cat Stevens who is now a muslim and is going to do a new tour to bridge the gap between the west and Islam.

              May God grant your heart His Peace

              Dow

                peace

                we are not saying (at least i am not) that music is haram, i am talking about the content if the content is explicit in anyway than I believe it's 'haram' or at least a sin

                  Haha, can't pay, can't afford to man. (If you think content is questionable you can always IM next time)

                  Can you think of no situation where this could be appropriate?
                  and why can't there be exceptions to rules?

                  No I can't think of any. I didn't say that there shouldn't be exceptions to rules. I said there shouldn't be exceptions to EVERY rule.

                  p.s. I'm not as serious as i sound.

                  That's good. Laughter is great medicine. Why do you think I love family guy so much?

                    Peace

                    Music is a beautiful expression. In no way could it be haram if done tastefully.

                    Those lyrics you posted as an example, phoenix, are highly offensive so no there is no exception where it would be ok. if someone wants to say that to his wife, by all means, behind closed doors. the whole world doesn't have to know it. there's no need to have a song about it to poison the minds of little ones and make women feel insecure.

                    Peace all

                      peace
                      imran, s2s,
                      i take back what i said. There are exceptions to SOME rules P
                      this rule could be one of them.

                      The situation i was thinking about was behind close doors in a private situation without children and without women who would be offended.
                      But i guess it's a bit too unlikely for that to ever happen, so... peace

                      But please understand that i was never defending the lyrics 50 cent uses.

                        Peace Phoenix

                        There are exceptions to SOME rules

                        true true i agree

                        The situation i was thinking about was behind close doors in a private situation without children and without women who would be offended.

                        oh no doubt i agree with you. whatever floats your boat as long as both parties are ok with it. i still don't think it should be made in a song for ppl to listen to though...

                        But i guess it's a bit too unlikely for that to ever happen, so... peace

                        You never know some ppl are into strange stuff. as long as the husband and the wife are both not offended by bad language being said to them then i don't think it's wrong. i mean of course it shouldn't be an on-going thing even outside the bedroom cuz then that's just abuse in my book. but again, songs are too public and a married couple's sex life is and should be very personal.

                        But please understand that i was never defending the lyrics 50 cent uses.
                        oh was that 50 cent ? D ...that crazy guy yea i'm not too fond of his lyrics ... yea way too vulgar for my taste too .. its a shame cuz he's got some catchy hot beats .. if he'd only get rid of the potty mouth lol

                        Peace all

                            Salaam Brother,
                            I think its not about u as a couple listening to songs with "sexual references" together...
                            We can not even make a song with "sexual references" on the first place.
                            If Allah tells us to subdue our sight, do u think He would allow us to create a "SEXUAL" song or music for couples.
                            Its the same way to say that a porn movie is okay as long as we watch it with our mate (wife or husband) or if we make it for marriage couples but thats not the case. Creating the porn movie on the first place is UNLAWFUL. Thats it.
                            And do u think when people creating those SEX type of music and those SEX type of movie, they are created for marriage couples only? No, They create it for ALL. Means ur kids would hear it, ur kids would watch it and they will keep those things on their mind etc.
                            So what do u think about this brother?

                            Salaam

                                I hope not man Stewie put him in the right place, and how dare you question stewie ! ;D

                                nothing right with that either, if you think that's not wrong you are kidding yourself. There's nothing positive being generated from this nothing but evil can come from it. The problem is that this is a thing you say in a sexual sense. It cannot be taken any other way.

                                I think sister fatima brought up a great point, if sexual references are not haram in songs, then why should they be in adult films. No one sane can say that thats not haram. It's the same thing. The music we listen to, the tv we watch, the movies we watch 'program' the masses.So I would definitely say that it's 'haram'

                                      Salaam

                                        ok for ppl who listen to bollywood songs .. so bascially all bollywood romantic songs are haram ? I mean if we listen to them then we are committing a sin even if its not affecting us in anyway!
                                        Sex in my view isnt bad .. the problem with us muslims is that we tend to hide these things behind doors !! Ok its private between a man and women but to talk about it isnt bad at all in my view .. we have to open up !!

                                          Salaam,
                                          Are all bollywood songs talk about sex?
                                          Some bollywood songs talk about true love, family, parents, country, religi, struggle and etc and I think there is nothing wrong with that.
                                          Again its not about the bollywood song or not, its about the CONTENT. If the content is HALAL like I mentioned above, I think then it will be alright.
                                          But if talking about SEX, bollywood or not bollywood is HARAM.

                                          Salaam,

                                          ps The sadness thing that I notice, the bollywood starts to make more SEX type of movie AND music nowadays
                                          And they will say its the "TREND"...what happen with the east value, religion value that we have? We have enough of those kind of movies over here in HOLLYWOOD...

                                          ok for ppl who listen to bollywood songs .. so bascially all bollywood romantic songs are haram ? I mean if we listen to them then we are committing a sin even if its not affecting us in anyway!
