Is ALONE, PART 3 - XXXTENTACION Halal or Haram?

Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "ALONE, PART 3 - XXXTENTACION" is Caution (3/5).

Is ALONE, PART 3 - XXXTENTACION halal according to Sistani?

Caution (3/5). Applying Sistani's 'Expert Recognition Test,' the primary question is whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. The song is a slow, somber, acoustic guitar-driven ballad. This specific tune type is not typical of lively, festive, or wild entertainment gatherings. However, because it is a secular, commercial pop/rap release, its status remains doubtful (3/5). Since Sistani rules that the psychological effect (relaxation or sadness) is irrelevant to the ruling, the somberness alone does not make it automatically halal. An expert or the listener must determine if this specific acoustic tune type is similar to those used in gatherings of amusement.

Is ALONE, PART 3 - XXXTENTACION halal according to Khamenei?

Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's 3-component lahwī assessment, we must evaluate if the music is lahwī (deviating from Allah), mutrib (ecstasy-inducing), and suitable for sinful gatherings. The song's slow, acoustic, and depressing nature means it is not 'mutrib' and does not fit gatherings of vanity. However, the lyrics touch upon self-harm ('dug my nails into my arms') and extreme despair, which could potentially lead to hopelessness—a state discouraged in Islam. Because it does not promote active sins (like drugs or sexual deviance) but contains heavy themes, it falls into the 'grey area' under Q1133.
