Is Wonderwall - Oasis halal according to Sistani?
Likely Haram (2/5). Grand Ayatollah Sistani's ruling establishes a single objective criterion: whether the tune type is 'suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings' (majālis al-lahw wal-la'ib). The test relies on expert recognition ('urf al-khabīr) to determine if the melody is of the type common to entertainment venues, clubs, or secular entertainment gatherings.
Is Wonderwall - Oasis halal according to Khamenei?
