(The purpose of this post is not to debate on the permissibility of music; take whatever stance you wish on that issue)
Have any of you guys heard of the singer Yuna?
She's from Malaysia, and she's AMAZING!
I have like 5 of her songs and I've memorized a couple by heart.
Now I know some people would take one look at the hijab and go
'ASTAGFURILLAH, WHAT IS SHE DOING, WHY IS SHE EVEN OUT OF THE HOUSE? SKDJFSKLMJCIPJSDKFMSDF -mind implodes-'
She's a great singer, and none of her songs preach drinking, fornication, or anything deemed 'westernly' or 'haram'.
To immediately shut her down because of her outwardly appearance is assuming too much of who she really is (of that I assume the best).
I have no problem with others singing; I mean if what they're singing isn't harming anyone (and to play the advocate, they're only harming 'themselves') then who are we to interfere?
Sorry, I didn't mean to get all serious in this post- or maybe I did- but I like her songs; if you're okay with listening to 2 minutes of beautiful music, take a gander:
(I didn't post this so that we could 'dissect' her outfit, remember her business not ours)
(I remember posting about Female Nasheed Singers; I recant my earlier statements, I realize that I was trying to make myself believe in something that I cannot. I'm all gung-ho for Female Nasheed singers with equal opportunities, or none (male or female) at all. Stop being hypocrites!)
