[Ahsan]

Music is not inherently haram. For more info please see responses of Umer sb and sohail sb

[Umer]

Music is not primarily Haram therefore, there’s no harm in raising funds for charity through holding of concerts. But just like other activities, there should not be any immoral activity involved with the Music or in the concert itself.

A detailed series has been done with Ghamidi Sahab on Music and Singing and it’s status in Islam:

[Saeed Ahmad]

I am well aware of perspective of Ghamidi sb….. But if, in case, some immorality is found, like dancing of men and women together or some other aspect that feels immoral, music will definitely turn into haraam….. Correct me if I am wrong

My basic question is that if such happens, will the money gathered have any benefit to the good deeds of those who participated and organised the event? Although the money goes for charity

Basic question lies on money and it’s value on “Naama e Amaal” if gathered through sinned activity but on name of charity.

[Umer]

If there’s a clear immoral act involved which falls in prohibited category, then the money raised will do event organizers no good as far as their “Naama-e-Amaal” is concerned.

Dr. Irfan Shahzad (@Irfan76 ) will be able to add scholarly insight into the matter.

[Dr. Irfan Shahzad]

Knowingly going against the injunctions of God to do something good tells that the person has no regard for God. So he can’t expect from God to still appreciate him or her. About such people God told us that their good deeds are rewarded ik this world and they have claim or share in the hereafter.
