Question
A man came whistling to the Musjid even whilst the Athaan was in progress. What is the Shariah's ruling regarding whistling?
Answer
The Qur'aan Majeed states that whistling is an act of shaitaan. The mushrikeen would dance around their idols whistling and clapping hands.Whilst the Athaan is in progress, it is not permissible to recite even the Qur'aan. Whilst the man's act is extremely evil and satanic, we shall put it to an evil habit. Explain to him.
