Question

Is it permissible to listen music for education, example, many teaching aids in our school contain music and is it halaal to see a Hafiz of the Qur'an and pious people?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Music is prohibited. Listening to music is a sin. It is not permissible to listen to educational aids having music.

Your question is not clear. Nevertheless, it is prohibited for a female to see a male who is not her Mahram. A Mahram is he who is prohibited in marriage for example, one’s brother, uncle etc. If a male is not a Mahram, it is compulsory to observe Hijaab from that person.

It is not permissible to see such a person even though he is a Hafidh or Alim or a Hadhrat.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
