Is Rain - Dual Piano - Brian Crain halal according to Sistani?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's framework established in 'A Code of Practice for Muslims in the West' (Book 46), the primary test for music is whether the tune type is 'suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings' (majālis al-lahw wa al-la'b). Since this piece is entirely instrumental, the prohibition of singing (al-ghinā') does not apply. The acoustic piano is a dual-purpose instrument (capable of producing both lawful and unlawful music).
Is Rain - Dual Piano - Brian Crain halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's jurisprudence (derived from Official Q&A 1121–1159 and his 76-session Dars Khārij course 'Ghenā va Mūsīqī'), music is prohibited if it is lahwī (diverting from the remembrance of Allah) and suitable for gatherings of sin (majālis al-lahw).
