Music is always a very controversial topic in Islam, argues Haitham Al-Haddad at MuslimMatters. His is an opinion against Music in general, except under certain circumstances. You agree with him or not, it’s worth a check.
Many of the ideas and concepts remonstrated by those who argue viewpoints similar to Sami’s are neither substantiated nor adhere to Islamic principles.

To lend credibility to his argument, I think it should be known that he is “Shaykh” Haitham al-Haddad, the student of Shaykh Abdallah bin al-Aqeel – one of the leading scholars of Saudi Arabia and the Hanbali Madhhab in our times.
