If it is possible to remove the evil (munkar), then it is obligatory to do so; otherwise, there is no blame, provided there is no deliberate listening or enjoyment. Music and singing are forbidden. Sheikh al-Islam differentiated between listening with the intention of enjoyment and incidental listening that reaches the ear without choice, with no sin in the latter. Therefore, when compelled to listen to music on the phone, one must try to avoid it as much as possible and not get carried away with the tunes.
