Is 7 Years - Lukas Graham halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Under the jurisprudence of Grand Ayatollah Sistani, permissibility is governed by the 'Entertainment Gatherings Test' established in 'A Code of Practice For Muslims in the West' (Book 46). The fundamental criterion is strictly objective and tune-type based: whether the melody, rhythm, and vocal arrangement are suitable for, or customary to, gatherings of entertainment and amusement (al-majālis al-lahwiyyah).
Is 7 Years - Lukas Graham halal according to Khamenei?
Grey Area (3/5). Ayatollah Khamenei evaluates music through a 3-component lahwī framework: (1) whether the music is lahwī (diverting from Allah and moral virtues), (2) whether it exhibits a muṭrib quality (rapture/sensual excitement) in conjunction with lahw, and (3) whether it is suitable for gatherings of sin and corruption (majālis al-lahw wal-ma'āṣī) (Official Q&A Q1121, Q1123, Q1131).
