Is Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Rey halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Haram (2/5). Ayatollah Khamenei evaluates music through the 3-component lahwī framework: whether the piece is lahwī (deviating from Allah and moral virtues), whether it is muṭrib in combination with lahw, and whether it is suitable for gatherings of sin and vanity (Official Q&A 1121, 1123). In his advanced jurisprudence course (Dars Khārij, Session 314, pp. 443-444), he specifies concrete instances (maṣādīq) that definitively establish forbidden lahw.
