My respected brothers and sisters,

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but a great friend/brother of mine (who is starting to practice the deen,

), has asked me to help him find proof from Quran/Hadith which deal with the permissibility (or lack thereof) of music/movies/TV in Islam (TV as we know it, not stuff which is obviously halal such as real Islamic programming).

His thinking currently is that it's understandable that music & movies with graphic language/scenes would not be permissible, however he's thinking that as long as the music is 'clean' of derogatory language and the movies/TV programming do not contain graphic elements, it should be OK. As we all know, even a "family friendly" TV show/movie in the Western world contains elements which are forbidden (such as uncovered women, free mixing of girls/boys men/women, hugging/kissing, etc)... so one really has to just block it all out altogether.

He doesn't have much access to scholars to ask stuff in person so just like many of us he resorts to searching for answers online... and he says all he's found regarding music/movies is differences between scholars where some say it's allowed, some say it's not, some say as long as you're careful what you're listening to/watching, etc.

I personally understand that music pollutes the heart & soul and do not intentionally listen to any at all, unless I happen to be in a situation where it's unavoidable, such as a public place... in which case I just don't pay attention to it or there have been times where I've pulled out my earphones and put on Quran recitation to block out the music and soften my heart at the same time. Same with movies & TV shows... completely blocked out,

. Allah

has blessed me with this understanding and I would like to help some of my friends/brothers reach the same type of understanding,

.

So, I need all of your help to produce some website links/YouTube videos which speak clearly about the permissibility or non-permissibility of music/movies/TV from an Islamic perspective while citing Quran & Hadith.
