Abstract:

In this study, the fatwas given by the great Shafi scholar Imam Nawawī (d. 676/1277) related to music in his work "Fetawa al-Imam al-Nawawī/al-Mesāil al-Mensūre" is examined. Shafi lived in the 13th century and had devoted his life entirely to science and who had created many works in many fields. First, general information was presented about the life and works of Nawawī, and then his work containing his fatwas was analyzed in more detail. After the classification under suitable titles and translation of the identified fatwas, they were evaluated briefly. Reviews and comments of the investigator of the work were also translated into English and transferred to the relevant places of this study. From the point of view of Nawawi's fatwas, it is clear that Shafi's sect had passed no absolute judgments in favor of or against music, and it had passed different judgments depending on some conditions.
