Working in the field of singing and music is forbidden (), and the earnings derived from it are ill-gotten (khabith). It is obligatory to seek lawful () work. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect." A servant will never abandon something for the sake of Allah out of piety except that Allah will grant him something better than it.
