Ok the thread is really worth a debate but the answers here are so precise that i kinda feel lame here to post, my knowledge is limited to only 2 things about music and they are that
1:musicis not allowed in Islam
2:in musical instrumentals only TABLA *dunno the proper word for it* is allowed... Not to forget Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was welcomed by kids playing this very instrument while singing.
