Hadith 1282
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تَبِيعُوا الْقَيْنَاتِ ، وَلَا تَشْتَرُوهُنَّ ، وَلَا تُعَلِّمُوهُنَّ ، وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي تِجَارَةٍ فِيهِنَّ ، وَثَمَنُهُنَّ حَرَامٌ ". فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سورة لقمان آية 6 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَضَعَّفَهُ وَهُوَ شَامِيٌّ .
Narrated from Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not sell or buy singing slave girls, and do not teach them (singing) 1. There is no good or blessing in their trade, and their price is unlawful. And regarding such things, this verse was revealed: «ومن الناس من يشتري لهو الحديث ليضل عن سبيل الله» 'And among mankind is he who purchases idle talk to mislead (men) from the path of Allah' (Luqman: 6)." © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- We know the hadith of Abu Umamah only through this chain, and some scholars have spoken about Ali bin Yazid and have declared him weak. And he is from the people of Sham (Greater Syria).
2- There is also a narration in this chapter from Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, while other scholars have graded it as hasan.
In addition, from other evidences as well, it is found that the buying and selling of these items and earning from them is forbidden (haram).
For details, see: (Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah by al-Albani, no. 2922)
Therefore, even in the pre-Islamic era, the Arabs considered singing and music to be blameworthy, so women from noble families would avoid it. However, slave girls would sing and play music to entertain their masters and their friends, or to receive rewards for singing.
The Arabs of the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic period) used to tell their slave girls to go and earn.
They would earn money for their owners either through music and singing or through prostitution.
Islam has declared such earnings to be haram.
It is not permissible for slave girls to earn in this manner.
➌
Nowadays, music and singing have been labeled as “art” and made a means of earning.
From the perspective of Islamic law, this is not permissible.
Acting in immodest roles in films and adopting modeling as a profession also fall into the same category.
➍
If singing slave girls are not purchased for the purpose of listening to or performing music, but rather for household chores and other permissible services, then it is not prohibited. Similarly, if at the time of sale they are not presented as artists in order to demand a higher price, but are sold as ordinary slave girls, then it will not be haram.
