Summary/Abstract: In the text, the author discusses the significance of music and its undeniable influence on human soul, emphasizing that one cannot treat the above mentioned question in legal science without being previously acquainted with various musical genres, as well as with the divergent musical contexts in which the music originated. Thus, for example, what would be called music in the West would not be called so in the Islamic world, due to certain religious-cultural specifics that a person must be aware of when approaching the phenomenological elaboration of the question of music. Of course, it is unquestionable that all Muslim teachers agree that the music which is lascivious and induces passion is illicit (harām), just as they, generally, agree that the music which strengthens the fighting spirit of Muslims and enhances their connection (wisāl) with God is not only permissible, but is wholeheartedly recommended and encouraged (mandūb).
