Authorities from Afghanistan’s vice ministry created a bonfire of confiscated musical instruments and equipment in Herat province at the weekend, deeming music immoral.

“Promoting music causes moral corruption and playing it will cause the youth to go astray,” said Aziz al-Rahman al-Muhajir, head of the Herat department of the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.

Since seizing power in August 2021, Taliban authorities have steadily imposed laws and regulations that reflect their austere vision of Islam — including banning playing music in public.

The bonfire saw hundreds of dollars worth of musical gear go up in smoke — much of it collected from wedding halls in the city.

It included a guitar, two other stringed instruments, a harmonium and a tabla — a type of drum — as well as amplifiers and speakers.

Women have borne the brunt of the new government regulations, and are not allowed in public unless wearing a hijab.

Teenage girls and women have been barred from schools and universities, and they are also prohibited from entering parks, playgrounds and gyms.

Last week, thousands of beauty salons were shuttered across the country after authorities deemed certain makeovers to be too costly, or unIslamic.


 
The whole Ethnic group needs to be put in reductional camps for 2 generations.

Let them fight and negate each other. What happens inside Afghanistan shouldn't concern us. Unless they are TTP camps.
You can't change their minds for another 2 decades atleast.
 
Yes in Islam, musical intruments are Haraam except for single sided daff/tamborine with no metal rings attached.
Any particular reason for that?

It does because they aren't fighting and are bombing us instead
 
Not our concern, let them do whatever pleases them, our concern should only be limited to seal off the damn border

There is a famous Hadith where Musical intruments are in a list with alcohol, and Zina (fornication).

I mean what they are doing to other afghans inside Afghanistan.
