The Qur'an itself has little to say on the subject of music, tho verses below are cited which Islamic scholars generally interpret as referring to the practice. The hadith, though, is very explicit that both making music with instruments and singing is specifically haram. Islamic scholars have, though, made exceptions for the nasheed, a type of religious Islamic song which feature only men's voices in a cappella along with a single instrument, the daf, a type of tamborine with the sound of a drum. This exception, though, appears nowhere in the original scriptures, which simply condemn all forms of singing and music making.

This exception, though, appears nowhere in the original scriptures, which simply condemn all forms of singing and music making. Historically and today, a wide range of views exist as to the permissability of music, sometimes arguing that the relevant hadiths are unreliable. Some argue that specific types of instruments are permissable, others that all types are allowed if the music is for halal purposes. Many Sufi orders use music as a form of worship and music commonly plays a role in public religious celebrations in Shi'a Islam.
