Is I'll Find You - Lecrae feat. Tori Kelly halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Sistani's Expert Recognition Test focuses strictly on whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. The modern pop-rap production, beat, and melodic structure of 'I'll Find You' are of a type conventionally used in contemporary entertainment settings. Sistani explicitly rules that the spiritual or inspirational nature of the lyrics cannot make a forbidden tune type permissible, and the psychological effect (such as soothing the nerves or inspiring hope) is completely irrelevant to the ruling.
Is I'll Find You - Lecrae feat. Tori Kelly halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5). Khamenei's Lahwi Assessment evaluates whether the music is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah) and suitable for gatherings of sin. 'I'll Find You' is an inspirational song that encourages faith, hope, and reliance on God during hardship, which is the opposite of deviating from Allah. It does not fit any of the five forbidden categories of entertainment (it is not sexually exciting, does not promote sin, does not prevent obligatory acts, does not create religious indifference, and does not cause dancing). Since the music is non-lahwi, it is permissible in itself under Q1121.
