I reverted to Islam in September 99, Alhamdoulillah. I was a guitar player. I would like to know if it is possible for me to sell my guitars? And what about equipment such as microphones, mixers, computers… that actually can be used for other purposes than making music, can I sell these? If I can not sell anything,
what shall I do with them?
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abd
al-Rahmaan ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him), who answered as follows:
If they cannot be used for any permissible
purpose – and these things can only be used for haraam purposes in most
cases – then he has to
destroy them. Whoever fears Allaah and does his duty towards Him, Allaah
will show him a way out and grant him provision from sources he could
never imagine.
For information on the rulings on music, please
see question 5011 And
Allaah knows best.
