Is Zi-Zi's Journey - Lindsey Stirling halal according to Sistani?
Grey Area (3/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's rulings in 'A Code of Practice For Muslims in the West' (Book 46), the permissibility of instrumental music is governed by the Expert Recognition Test: whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings (majālis al-lahw wal-la'ib). The personal psychological effect (relaxation, inspiration, or focus) is legally irrelevant.
Is Zi-Zi's Journey - Lindsey Stirling halal according to Khamenei?
Likely Halal (4/5). Under the late Ayatollah Khamenei's jurisprudential framework (Official Q&A 1121-1159 and the 76-session Dars Kharij on Ghina and Music), the primary criterion for musical permissibility is whether the music is lahwī—meaning it deviates human beings from the path of Allah, promotes carelessness, or drives toward moral corruption.
