Respected brother/sister

It would not be permissable for a women to attend to keep-fit classes accompanied by music.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu �layhi Wasallam) mentioned, 'When singing girls and musical instruments becomes common, wait for red winds, earthquakes, the earth swallowing people, disfiguring and many more punishments.' (Mishk�t 470)

One can always find an alternative class whereby music is not played in the background or organise classes oneself.

And Allah knows best
Ulamaa
