Does prayer become void by being in a place with music or by hearing the television when it contains music?
The Muslim should primarily pray in a place that does not distract him or divert his mind from humility and presence of heart in prayer. This is indicated by the dislike of anything that distracts from prayer, such as praying towards a garment with images. As for praying in a place with music, it is forbidden. However, if the listening to music is minimal, the prayer is not invalidated. But if it becomes very excessive, it invalidates it.
