Does the choice between differing opinions – as in the ruling on dealing with Islamic banks – apply to the issue of listening to calm music without singing, taking into consideration the fatwas of some scholars who permit it?

What was mentioned in Fatwa (definition) no. 73246 applies to ijtihadi (matters of independent reasoning) issues, provided that the evidence for the issue is not weak, such as the issue of the permissibility of music. The opinion that it is permissible is very weak or an anomaly (shadh), and the consensus of imams such as Al-Qurtubi, Ibn Al-Salah (definition), and Ibn Rajab on the prohibition of listening to musical instruments has been narrated.
