Is Falling Down (Bonus Track) - Lil Peep halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's Expert Recognition Test, the primary criterion for music permissibility is whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'Falling Down' is a highly melodic, commercial emo-rap/pop track with a prominent trap beat. An expert would easily recognize this specific tune type as suitable for contemporary entertainment and social gatherings. Sistani explicitly rules that the emotional effect of the music (such as being sad or soothing) is completely irrelevant; if the tune type itself is suitable for entertainment gatherings, it is forbidden.
Is Falling Down (Bonus Track) - Lil Peep halal according to Khamenei?
Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, music is forbidden if it is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah) and suitable for gatherings of sin and vanity. 'Falling Down' is a melancholic song about grief and relationship pain, lacking any explicit promotion of sin, drug use, or sexual deviance. It does not inherently create a state of sinful rapture (mutrib) or fit the typical atmosphere of gatherings of sin. However, due to its commercial pop-rap production, it falls into a 'grey area' of ambiguity.
