Umm al-Mu’mineen, `Aaishah رضي الله عنها: Refuting a practice adopted by the Sufees

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Umm `Alqamah narrated that when the nieces of `Aaishah رضي الله عنها were circumcised, `Aaishah was asked: “Shall we call someone to amuse them?” “Yes,” she replied. A person by the name `Adi was sent for and he came to them. `Aaishah passed by the room and saw him singing and shaking his head in rapture - and he had a large head of hair. She exclaimed: “Uff! A Shaytaan! Get him out! Get him out!”

[Adab al-Mufrad of Imaam al-Bukhaaree (1247) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee and in the narration of al-Baihaqee it is also mentioned: “So he was taken out”]

***

What have the Sufees got to say about this?! Those who let the Shayaateen to play, dance, hop, climb poles or cling on to the ceiling fans etc. - while they claim to be in trance - inside or outside the Masaajid with blasting music.


Even for entertainment music is not allowed; then how far away are those who use music as a mode of worship? Deaf, dumb and blind! They will not understand.
