Yet he is ignoring the prohibition on music.
“‘Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: ‘In this Ummah there shall be collapsing of the earth, transformation and Qadhf.’ A man among the Muslims said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! When is that?’ He said: ‘When singing slave-girls, music, and drinking intoxicants spread.’” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2212)
“It was narrated from Abu Malik Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘People among my nation will drink wine, calling it by another name, and musical instruments will be played for them and singing girls (will sing for them). Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up, and will turn them into monkeys and pigs.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah 4020)
“Narrated Aisha: Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) !’ It happened on the `Id day and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari 952)
“French Singer Maitre Gims: New Year, Birthday Wishes Not Islamic,” by Safaa Kasraoui, Morocco World News, January 2, 2022:
Rabat – French-Congolese rapper and singer Maitre Gims has infuriated many of his fans after he released a video calling on them to stop sending him new year and birthday wishes.
In a video Gims posted on his social media, the iconic singer said birthday and new year wishes are not part of Muslims’ beliefs.
“I never responded to this, but you keep sending me through January and February. Muslims stop it,” he said in reaction to wishes he had received from fans.
Addressing his Muslim fans, he said: “Brothers, we don’t celebrate that. It’s not part of our belief.”
“Did the [Prophet’s companions] celebrate the New Year? No!,” Maitre Gims added.
The singer also indicated that he does not like it when he receives wishes during his birthday.
“It’s one more step towards death,” he argued….
“Maitre Gims does not accept it when someone reminds him that music is not in line with Islamic values,” one commenter on Twitter said sarcastically….

Terrifying, Fred. But this is common over much of the West. Jihad of the womb.

France: Muslim rapper says new year and birthday good wishes are un-Islamic
……………….
So true–but raping and murdering Infidels is certainly Islamic.
God, I hate Islam.
mortimer says
Yes. Muslim males are generally aware that it is halal to rape kafirs. Kafir women are ‘mubaa’ or licit. They is no Sharia punishment for raping them.
gravenimage says
Too true, Mortimer. In fact, the “Prophet” Muhammed himself–considered the model for all Muslims–himself regularly raped Infidel women and used them as sex slaves.
PMK says
So new year wishes are un-Islamic?
There’s just one way to respond to that: Hey Maitre Gims: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Tonight I’ll think of you while enjoying some delightful chardonnay. Your loss.
mortimer says
Maitre Gims perhaps denies himself many of the innocent pleasures of life, but not music. Or perhaps, Maitre Gims is drinking beer and eating bacon burgers when no Muslim is watching him.
DavidR says
Picking your nose with the wrong finger is un-Islamic. This rapper needs to find an Islamic scholar since his job is also haram, not to mention the fact that rap music in particular is super kuffar, Western and decadent.
But maybe rap doesn’t count as music.
Johnny B says
It may be un-Islamic, but it’s very French, so HAPPY NEW YEAR FRANCE!!!
Infidel says
He probably thinks that rap is not music, and in that, he has good company
Spiro says
Yeah that’s my point to
A Muslim rapper

Yes–violent “Gangsta Rap” with no accompanying instrumentation is often considered acceptable in Islam, where other music is not.
LR says
Oh, lay it on thick!…
Thousands of infidels ( just sign it Mohammed, or Ahmed) should just keep sending him notices of music being Haram!
Bug the crap out of him!
OLD GUY says
Muslim rapper says it all. What a JOKE! or should I say IDOT.
