A: Such songs are judged according to their content; if they include words of wisdom calling to goodness and exhortation, and preaching the obligation of showing obedience to Allah and His Messenger, the call to protect one's country against its enemies and the like, then there is nothing wrong with listening to them. However, if they contain words of obscenity, demoralization, and calling for the intermixing of men and women or not wearing the Islamic clothes in their presence, then they are abominable sins that should be avoided.
