Publisher Description:
There is often a tendency within Muslim circles to claim that there is unanimity of opinion supporting an outright prohibition concerning music and chess. The existing literature available in English tends to only show a very partial and at times skewed reading of the scriptural evidences. In order to broaden the discourse upon this issue, we hereby present for the first time in English, Ibn Hazm's critical analysis of this topic. Ibn Hazm was famous for his rejection that there is any clear or authentic textual prohibition relating to music or playing chess. In his unique inimitable style, Ibn Hazm critically assesses the textual evidences upon this issue, from the Qur'anic verses to the reported Prophetic statements.
