Is Moher Winds - David Arkenstone halal according to Sistani?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the primary test is whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings (gatherings of debauchery and sin). 'Moher Winds' is a soothing, atmospheric Celtic instrumental piece. An expert in these matters would distinguish that this specific tune type is not suitable for or similar to the tunes used in wild party or entertainment environments. Although it uses musical instruments, they are not being played in a manner suitable for haram entertainment. Since there are no vocals, the prohibition of ghina does not apply.
Is Moher Winds - David Arkenstone halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5). Ayatollah Khamenei's framework prohibits music that is 'lahwi' (deviating from the path of Allah and leading to carelessness or sin) and suitable for gatherings of vanity. 'Moher Winds' is a peaceful, non-exciting instrumental track used for relaxation, focus, or aesthetic appreciation. It does not contain any sexually exciting rhythms, does not drive the listener toward sin, does not cause religious indifference, and does not induce dancing. Under Khamenei's rulings, using musical instruments for such rational and non-lahwi purposes is completely halal.
