Question
What do the scholars of the Dīn and muftīs of the Sacred Law state regarding the following issue: Is it permissible to pray a Naat on the tune of a song from Bollywood movies? Questioner: Badar from UK
Answer
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایۃ الحق والصواب
It is prohibited to recite Naats on well known song tunes, thus should avoid this. Yes, if a Naat reciter prays a Naat on a certain tune and then later on, a singer sings a song in this same tune, so now praying that Naat on this tune is not prohibited.
