Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 291/267=B)

Anasheed (poems of qaseedah, naat, and hamd) which do not contain a lie, nonsense and unlawful, can be recited with the conditions: (1) there is no music (2) there is no fear of any evil (3) it is not recited by a woman or an adolescent boy. (4) It does not interfere in any ones slalah and zikr. In short, it must be free from unlawful things.
