Question :

What is the ruling on producing sounds from the mouth that resemble musical sounds, known as (Beatboxing)?



The Answer :

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

"Beatboxing" is an art form that utilizes the mouth, nasal passage, throat, and other parts to produce sounds resembling those of musical instruments. These sounds may be used directly without modification or may be used after being modified by computer.

There is no sin in listening to these sounds; they are permissible in principle. This is because they are akin to other natural sounds, such as the sound of sparrows, the sound of flowing water, the neighing of horses, and so forth.

In conclusion, sounds produced by humans in a natural manner are permissible in principle. Thus, there is no sin in listening to them. And Allah, The Exalted, knows best.
