The answer

Working in teaching and playing music is forbidden (), and the money earned from it is forbidden. Therefore, you should not accept the man as a husband unless he abandons this work and repents from it. If he rejects you because of his profession, it is obligatory for you [to reject him] if that is the source of his earnings from which he would spend on you. Al-Dasuqi said: "As for spending from unlawful (haram) earnings, marriage is not permissible with it, even if she knows about it." Choosing a righteous husband is one of the causes of a woman's happiness, and whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better.
