Listening to music is forbidden, even if it is instrumental without lyrics, as musical instruments and entertainment are prohibited by Islamic law. They can be replaced with anasheed (Islamic vocal music) or any beneficial material free from religious prohibitions. As for religious questions, you can send them to us. For matters requiring another specialization, you can contact the consultation department.
