Singing a line of music

· 12 Rabiʻ II 1448 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible to sing a line of music and just say it's just a saying or meme?

There is a new trend on Instagram and some people are now using these lines.

I would like to know how to advise them.

Answer

Music will remain music no matter how you express it. As we advised, that a song will remain a song no matter how you phrase it or express it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
