Is Eclipse - Audiomachine Halal or Haram?

Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "Eclipse - Audiomachine" is Halal (4/5).

Is Eclipse - Audiomachine halal according to Sistani?

Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the core test is whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'Eclipse' is an epic, cinematic orchestral piece designed for film trailers and dramatic backdrops. An expert would easily distinguish this genre as being distinct from the music played at typical sinful parties or amusement gatherings. Since the tune type is not suitable for such gatherings, it is classified as permissible. The dramatic, exciting nature of the epic orchestration is irrelevant to the ruling, as Sistani explicitly states that psychological effects (such as excitement or relaxation) do not determine permissibility.

Is Eclipse - Audiomachine halal according to Khamenei?

Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, music is forbidden if it is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah and causing carelessness) and suitable for gatherings of sin. 'Eclipse' is a purely instrumental, cinematic composition used for rational purposes such as dramatic storytelling, motivation, and background scoring. It does not contain sexually exciting sounds, does not encourage sin, does not prevent obligatory duties, and does not induce dancing. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for lahwī music and is permissible to listen to.
