Is NUMB - XXXTENTACION Halal or Haram?

Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "NUMB - XXXTENTACION" is Caution (3/5).

Is NUMB - XXXTENTACION halal according to Sistani?

Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework, the primary test is whether the tune type is suitable for or similar to the tunes used in entertainment and amusement gatherings. 'NUMB' is a slow, melancholic alternative rock song with an acoustic guitar intro and a heavy, distorted rock chorus. While it is a commercial release, its somber, non-danceable, and depressive nature makes its suitability for typical gatherings of play and amusement highly questionable. Because experts may disagree on whether modern alternative rock production styles fall under the 'entertainment tune' category, it is classified as Uncertain/Doubtful (3/5).

Is NUMB - XXXTENTACION halal according to Khamenei?

Caution (3/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, the core criterion is whether the music is lahwī (deviating from the path of Allah and making one forget Him) and mutrib (ecstasy-inducing). 'NUMB' is a deeply melancholic song about emotional pain and depression. It does not promote any of the five forbidden categories (it is not sexually exciting, does not promote sin, does not cause dancing, etc.). However, because it is a commercial alternative rock track, its status as lahwī is ambiguous.
