Is God's Plan - Drake halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the core test is whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'God's Plan' features a standard commercial trap beat with bouncy 808s and synths, which is highly suitable for and commonly played in parties, clubs, and entertainment venues. The personal effect on the listener is irrelevant, and the secular lyrics cannot make an entertainment-type tune permissible.
Is God's Plan - Drake halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Haram (2/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, the song is evaluated for its 'lahwī' (deviating from God) character. Lyrically, while it mentions 'God's plan,' it contains secular self-aggrandizement ('Might go down as G-O-D') and mild profanity, which promotes carelessness and indifference to religious matters (one of the five forbidden types of entertainment). The trap beat is also suitable for gatherings of amusement and vanity.
