Is Forgotten Voyage - Lindsey Stirling Halal or Haram?

Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "Forgotten Voyage - Lindsey Stirling" is Caution (3/5).

Is Forgotten Voyage - Lindsey Stirling halal according to Sistani?

Likely Haram (2/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the core test is whether the tune type of the music is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'Forgotten Voyage' is an upbeat instrumental that blends classical violin with modern electronic/dubstep beats. While the violin is a joint/common instrument, the synthesized electronic rhythm and tempo are highly energetic and similar to the styles played in modern entertainment and dance gatherings. Because an expert could distinguish this tune type as being suitable for or similar to entertainment gatherings, its permissibility is highly doubtful.

Is Forgotten Voyage - Lindsey Stirling halal according to Khamenei?

Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, the primary criterion is whether the music is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah and causing carelessness) and mutrib. Since 'Forgotten Voyage' is a purely instrumental track, it contains no explicit haram content, sexual arousal, or misleading messages. The violin and synthesizers are used for an artistic, rational purpose, which is permissible in itself under Q1122. However, due to its upbeat electronic rhythm, it may fall into a grey area for some listeners.
