Is Fortune Days - The Glitch Mob halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). The tune type of 'Fortune Days' features heavy electronic beats, synthesizers, and rhythmic drops characteristic of electronic dance music (EDM). An expert would easily distinguish this tune type as suitable for, or similar to, tunes used in modern entertainment and dance gatherings. Under Sistani's strict criteria, the psychological effect (whether it relaxes or excites) is irrelevant; the suitability of the tune type for entertainment gatherings makes it forbidden.
Is Fortune Days - The Glitch Mob halal according to Khamenei?
Caution (3/5). As an instrumental electronic track, 'Fortune Days' does not contain any vocal elements or explicit haram content. While its high-energy, exciting (mutrib) nature is often associated with electronic dance settings, whether it is actually lahwi (deviating from the path of Allah) depends on the individual listener's assessment ('urf). Per Q1133, music falling into such a grey area is permissible to listen to unless the listener determines it is lahwi and suitable for gatherings of sin.
