The answer

If games are permissible in themselves but are accompanied by music, then their price is lawful, because the music is not intended independently but is merely ancillary. However, it is more cautious to estimate the value of the music's benefit from the games' price and dispose of it by spending it on the welfare of Muslims or for the poor and needy, because what corresponds to the benefit of music is forbidden. This is done by estimating the game's value with music and its value without it, and the difference between the two values is what should be disposed of.
