Should we ban musicians from drinking?

Question

With all the banning of zero size models due to being unhealthy role models shouldn't we clamp down on rock stars. Alcohol kills more people than anorexia or bulimia so shouldn't we stop role models from drinking?

Answer 1

No!!!! I wouldn't have worn my briefs on my head or spit in the air while singing the song 'Singing in the Gob" while it lands on top of me....I don't use any drugs but booze & music go together!!!

Answer 2

There are many muslim musicians , most Muslims are aware that nothing has been prohibited by Allah except that which is harmful to the welfare of a Muslim individual and the society as a whole. The divine attribute behind the prohibition of music can be comprehended by looking into the diverse influence music can have. Experiments carried out by doctors and professors have confirmed that the music of today is such that it does not only affect the brain, but each and every organ of one`s body. There is a close relationship between music and bodily movements. We find that people listening to music automatically start tapping their fingers and feet, as if the music is permeating in their blood. It is also proved that music affect`s one`s emotions, increases arousal in terms of alertness and excitement and also leads to various physiological changes in the person. In a psychology experiment, it was found that listening to moderate type of music increased one`s normal heart beat, whilst listening to rock music the heart beat increased even further, yet people claim that music has no effect. It is a very ignorant and misguided attitude to percieve music as a form of pleasure and passing of time, since the messages of today`s music follow a general theme of love, fornication, drugs and freedom. We find that the whole world is obsessed with the kufr idea of freedom, i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc. In western schools and universities, we observe independence, free expression and secular thinking being encouraged. This idea of freedom, “ It`s my life, I`ll do what I want” is a predominant, underlying theme of today`s music. It is being used as a means for drilling western ideologies, which are totally contrary to Islamic Shariah and values, into the minds of Muslims. One should abstain from evil audacities such as listening to music and encourage others to do the same too. MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH GUIDE US ALL TO THE STRAIGHT PATH- AMEEN.

Answer 3

That is not fair or justifiable, you could however ban them from advertising alchohol and newspapers/press and media from showing images of the consuming alchohol and any articles relating to them drinking. But banning the nusicians from drinking would be wrong,unmanagable and would probably hamper their creativity.
