Is Music Therapy Halal or Haram?
Most of the Muslims already know that listening music is Haram(prohibited) in Islam and there is no other opinion in that point But in today’s topic I like to discuss about “Is Music Therapy Halal or Haram?”.
Well most of the Islamic scholars on this topic says that “Music Therapy is haram”. But for medical reasons, it can allowed in certain limitations. We can use music therapy only in much needed situations. If that is only way to safe the patient or it is under compulsion, then we can use that.
I’m going to explain this fact little deeper as you know alcohol is haram in Islam but in few drugs infect in many drugs, alcohol included and it is also not haram under compulsion. Same is the case with music therapy.
You know in most of the special children schools, teachers use music therapy to play with them and this trend is rising really fast. The thing is they don’t check is that right for that specific children or no, they are simply doing with each one. We first need to check whether that specific children have any other way or not.

I have been looking for an answer for this question because my son has autism and because he cannot communicate like other children i and others thought that music therapy would help him more to bring out his language skills because i have noticed that he says words more and calms him down when i sing to him. but when i sing to him i have no music but in music therapy there will be music accompanied by the singing. please comment – wa salam alaikum

Walikum Salam,
Well, this is really a difficult thing to say. I don’t want to comment on such thing. Its better if you talked with any highly qualified Ulmah-e-Karam. He can give you best advice.
As far as my opinion, I think it is allowed. because there is no music in it.
Thanks
