Can We Listen to Kids
Music Videos on TV?

Is it permissable for Muslims to listen to children's songs, like Zain Bhikha and David Wharnsby? I have heard some of these on Guide US TV and wonder if there is some fatwa allowing this to continue?

Good Question.

Actually, there is a big difference between the music of singing without instruments and music with musical instruments, according to almost every scholar I have asked.

Daff is played on certain occassions such as Eid, weddings, and when one who has been away returns.__Rulin g on nasheeds:__ No doubt the songs that are commonly known in the media or elsewhere contain many forbidden matters, such as the words that call to vice and immorality, music, women singing for men, etc. In addition, songs keep the person away from the way of Allah, prevent him from occupying himself in the worship of Allah and in what is useful for him in this life and the Hereafter. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks to mislead (men) from the Path of Allâh without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allâh, the Verses of the Qur'ân) by way of mockery.
