Is Into the Unknown - Idina Menzel halal according to Sistani?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's Expert Recognition Test, the primary question is whether the tune type of this song is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'Into the Unknown' is a theatrical show tune with a dramatic, narrative-driven orchestral arrangement. An expert in these matters would distinguish this cinematic style from the typical upbeat, sensual, or dance-oriented tune types suitable for parties or clubs of amusement.
Is Into the Unknown - Idina Menzel halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's lahwī assessment, music is forbidden if it is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah and promoting unrestrainedness or sin) and mutrib (creating an ecstatic state of rapture) in a way that is suitable for gatherings of sin (Q1121). 'Into the Unknown' is a cinematic, theatrical piece with highly dramatic but non-lahwī orchestration.
