Summary
The 69th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee in 2005 ruled that nasyid songs in the form of supplications are permissible in Islam. The permission is conditional on good lyrics, such as praise of Allah and the Prophet, the beauty of creation, responsibility, or piety. The performance must not be rude or encourage sin, involve free mixing of men and women, lead to slander, expose the aurat, or praise creatures excessively.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
