Summary
The Council of Ulama of the Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council ruled that there is no Shariah objection to forming a brass band, provided its concept and implementation do not contradict Islamic law. The fatwa cites the well-known view of the four schools that prohibits certain musical instruments, alongside other opinions that permit them. In light of both views, the decision on using music for this purpose is left to the parties or individuals concerned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahawa tiada halangan di segi syarak tentang cadangan penubuhan pasukan (Brassband) jika konsep dan pelaksanaan tidak berlawanan dengan hukum syarak.
