Is TV Volume - Homeshake halal according to Sistani?
Haram (1/5). Ayatollah Sistani's jurisprudence evaluates music strictly through the 'Expert Recognition Test'—whether the tune type is suitable for gatherings of entertainment and amusement (majālis al-lahw wa al-la'ib). The subjective emotional or physiological effect of the track (such as feeling relaxed, calm, or soothed by the slow tempo and mellow instrumentation) is completely irrelevant to the ruling, as clarified in Q1 of his Code of Practice.
Is TV Volume - Homeshake halal according to Khamenei?
Grey Area (3/5). Ayatollah Khamenei's framework applies a 3-component assessment centered on whether the music is lahwī (deviating from Allah) and mutrib (producing rapture/excitement), evaluated against the concrete categories of harm outlined in Session 314 of his dars khārij lectures: (1) arousing lust, (2) driving toward a haram act or preventing an obligatory duty, or (3) instilling indifference/carelessness toward religion.
