How do we tell if a Noha is musical and therefore prohibited? Are all vocal melodies disallowed? Is there any guidance on this topic in the narrations from our Imams?
We can not say that every vocal melody is disallowed because the way of Tajweed, Azaan , Nawhakhwani etc has a vocal melody. The music which is usually used by the sinners is not permissible even if it used in Noha or Tajweed.
If the melody is used by the sinners, then we must avoid it.
'Wassalam.
