Recently an Ulema organization issued a poster announcing that a prominent naa't singer would be singing naa'ts at a public hall.

Answer

It is haraam for a male singer to sing to even males, and it is haraam for even a female singer to sing to a female audience. To a greater degree will the prohibition apply if he sings for females. The Fuqaha have ruled that men should not say even 'Assalamu Alaikum' to females and vice versa. And, if a male greets a woman, she should not respond.

When it is prohibited for women to attend the Musjid for Salaat, how can it ever be permissible for them to attend a public hall for listening to the haraam singing by a faasiq male? The faasiq, vile male singer, we are told, had egged on the women to sway to his immoral tunes.

The Imaams, the ulama-e-soo' (evil molvis) and all who participated in organizing the fisq singing in the public hall are fussaaq. These miserable molvis have no respect for the ahkaam of the Shariah. Their concern is only to satisfy the lustful dictates of the nafs. May Allah Ta'ala save this Ummah from the vile clutches of the ulama-e-soo'.

These ulama-e-soo' are not Warathatul Ambiya. They have become warathatush shaitaan (the heirs and representatives of the devil). There is no group which has harmed the Ummah more than the ulama-e-soo'. They have become the commanders of munkar (evil) having assumed the function of Amr bil Munkar instead of Amr Bil Ma'roof.
