Is Golden Brown (Arabic Version) - YAD Oud halal according to Sistani?
Likely Halal (4/5). Applying Sistani's 'Expert Recognition Test,' the primary question is whether this specific tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings (i.e., gatherings of debauchery, dancing, and sin). An expert would recognize this acoustic, traditional oud performance as a classical, soothing instrumental piece, not a tune type suitable for wild, sinful parties. Since the tune type is not suitable for such gatherings, it is permissible.
Is Golden Brown (Arabic Version) - YAD Oud halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5).
