Is Bloom - The Paper Kites halal according to Sistani?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Grand Ayatollah Sistani's jurisprudence, the sole defining criterion for the permissibility of music is the 'Entertainment Gatherings Test' (al-Fiqh lil-Mughtaribīn / A Code of Practice For Muslims in the West, Book 46, pp. 258-260). Forbidden music is defined strictly as music whose tune type is 'suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings' (majālis al-lahw wal-la'ib), as distinguished by an expert or common recognition ('urf).
Is Bloom - The Paper Kites halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's jurisprudential framework (Official Jurisprudence Q&A Booklet 32, Q1121-Q1159, and his dars khārij course 'Ghenā va Mūsīqī'), music is evaluated through a 3-component assessment: (1) Is it lahwī (deviating from Allah and moral virtues)?; (2) Is it muṭrib (producing rapture/loss of self-control) in combination with lahwī character?; (3) Is it suitable for gatherings of sin and corruption (majālis al-lahw wal-ma'āṣī)?
