The permissibility of Naat in Islam is a nuanced issue depending on the presence of musical instruments.
Generally, reciting Naat (poetry praising Prophet Muhammad SAW) is permissible in Islam. However, the use of musical instruments within Naat is a point of contention among Islamic scholars.
-
Permissible Naat: Reciting Naat without musical instruments is generally considered permissible. This includes using only the human voice for singing and reciting. Some also consider using vocal humming to enhance the beauty of the Naat permissible.
-
Naat with Musical Instruments: The permissibility of using musical instruments in Naat is debated. Many scholars strongly prohibit the use of musical instruments in Naat, considering it against Islamic teachings regarding music.
In summary, Naat itself is permissible, but the permissibility of including musical instruments is highly debated and often discouraged or prohibited by many scholars.
