Is Anti Gravity - Lindsey Stirling halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's strict 'Entertainment Gatherings Test', the actual psychological effect of the music is irrelevant. The sole criterion is whether the tune type is suitable for or similar to the tunes played at entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'Anti Gravity' features a highly energetic, modern electronic and dubstep beat. An expert in these matters would recognize this specific rhythm and tune type as being suitable for dance and entertainment venues, rendering the track forbidden to listen to, despite being entirely instrumental.
Is Anti Gravity - Lindsey Stirling halal according to Khamenei?
Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, the permissibility of instrumental music depends on whether it is 'lahwī' (deviating from the path of Allah, causing carelessness and indifference to religious matters) and suitable for gatherings of sin. 'Anti Gravity' is an instrumental track that blends classical violin with electronic beats. While the electronic elements are energetic, they do not inherently promote vice, unrestrainedness, or sin. Therefore, the track falls into the 'grey area' of ambiguous music.
