Assalamu Alaykum
The following question was kindly answered by Dr Liyakatali Takim.

Salaams
Ummulbanin Merali - Acting Moderator - 'Aalim Network
****************************************************************************

Question:
Based on Ayatullah Seestani recent rulings.  Which Music is OK to listen to
and which is not.

....I also wonder about lullabies for babies.

****************************************************************************

Answer:
Salaamun 'Alaykum,

According to the Ayatullah Seestani, that music which is used for
entertainment and corrupt (Agha uses the word fusuq) purposes is haram. Two
months back, I had translated  Agha's fatwa on sending children to musical
sessions on the ABDG, so please refer to it.

Based on the above answer, lullabies do not, from my understanding, fall
under the category of music which can be classified as haram.

See Ayatullah Seestani's Mustahdathat min Masa'il al-Shar'iyya, pg 28.

And Allah Knows best
