Question
What is the fiqhi definition of "musical instrument".
Answer
Generally, musical instruments are referred to as ‘Ma’azif’ in the classical books of Hadith. Mullah Ali Qari, author of Mirqaatul Mafaatih, has explained the term to include all instruments of ‘lawh’ (time wasting). (Mirqaat vol.10 pg.172; Imdaadiyah)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
