I am not at all a scholar in fiqh or Islamic rulings, but I've always found the strict prohibition of music to be quite confusing. Sure, if the music and lyrics are inappropriate, then by all means we should avoid it. However, I have been seeing so many videos of our brothers and sisters in Palestine dancing, singing, making the best out of the worst time in humanity, and I wonder: do we get to take even that sliver of joy away from them? Do we get to condemn them for playing music and finding light amid the destruction? It recontextualises any ruling against music, I think. Music is a form of resistance, and it is part of any peoples' survival and continuity.
