Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that music is permissible in Islam as long as certain conditions are met. These include not being so intoxicating that obligations are forgotten, containing no obscene elements, not leading to sin or arousing desire, not being excessive in entertainment, and not contradicting Islamic creed, law and morals. Using advanced technology to let a living singer perform a duet with a deceased singer is not prohibited, provided it does not conflict with these conditions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
