Is Never See Us Fall - Samer halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Under Grand Ayatollah Sistani's jurisprudence, music permissibility is governed entirely by the 'Expert Recognition Test' regarding the tune type. The fundamental rule states: 'Forbidden music is the music that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings, even if it does not arouse sexual temptations' (Book 46, Q1, pp. 261-268).
Is Never See Us Fall - Samer halal according to Khamenei?
Grey Area (3/5). Late Ayatollah Khamenei applies a purpose-and-effect framework centered on whether music is 'lahwī' (deviating from the path of Allah, moral values, and causing spiritual carelessness, per Q1121 and Q1123). Unlike Sistani, Khamenei explicitly recognizes revolutionary, anti-oppression, and martial chanting as permissible rational purposes (Q1137, Q1138, and Booklet 32, Session 322, Q39).
