The answer

Fasting is not merely abstaining from food, drink, and sexual intercourse; it also includes the fasting of the limbs from everything Allah has forbidden. For whoever does not abandon false speech, acting upon it, and ignorance, Allah has no need for him to abandon his food and drink. Listening to music is forbidden in and outside of it, and its sin is greater in Ramadan. Listening to music does not invalidate the fast, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The sin falls upon the one who listens to it intentionally, but as for one who hears it unintentionally and leaves the place, there is no sin upon him.
