Is mentioning God's name with music an act of disbelief (kufr), leading to the listener or speaker becoming a disbeliever? What is the ruling on reciting a chant of the Beautiful Names of Allah (Asma Allah al-Husna) at a wedding where there is intermingling (ikhtilat) but no dancing, and does this reach the degree of disbelief?

Mixing music with the remembrance of Allah is more forbidden than music alone. However, a person does not become an unbeliever merely by listening to such a thing. One must turn away from the whispers of disbelief and delving deeply into them.
