As-Salamu Alaikum,
I have come across a fatwa on music from Shaykh Jad al-Haq Ali Jad al-Haq, a previous Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar.
He makes a case that music is not inherently haram in the Shariah as long as it is not used for a haram purpose, or in a haram environment.
A translation can be found archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20220309075612/https://islamictextinstitute.co.za/music-azhar-fatwa/
What are the perspectives on his fatwa in the world of Muslim scholarship? I've looked online for responses but I can't find any.
Thank you!
Najee Ali
