Summary/Abstract: The issues related to listening and playing with music instruments in the history of fiqh are rich of aspects of opinions and arguments. The basic question was whether the issue of music is originally permissible or forbidden. According to the first opinion, the prohibiting evidence are for exceptional types of music, and for the second opinion, the evidence that allows certain models of singing and musical instruments those are the exceptions. It has been noticed that there is a certain characteristic of each era in the classical centuries, when very few exceptions have been advocated by Ulama. In one century the Hadith approach dominated, while in the other century, the mystic approach or the jurisprudential approach outweighed the other approach.
