The disagreement regarding the prohibition of musical instruments (ma'azif) is very weak, and the opinion allowing them is aberrant. Many scholars have narrated a consensus on their prohibition. It is not permissible for the questioner to work in a field that relies on music, unless he can avoid it in his specific work. As for beneficial programs that are free from musical instruments and other forbidden things, there is no harm in working on them, even if the channel places a musical segment at the beginning or end of the program, while denouncing that to them as much as possible.
