Someone from the subcontinent could probably answer this question: Are Qawalis considered haram[forbidden] by Muslim scholars? Is there any respected scholar who considers Qawalis to be legit? Thank you. Jemshed Nawaz

I think I can answer the 2nd part of this question. Ayatollah Khomeini considered music that is not made for lahw and la'ab [i.e. is *not* party music] as legitimate. This also included some secular music. >Thank you. > >Jemshed Nawaz Regards, Behnam Sadeghi
