The answer

Songs accompanied by musical instruments are forbidden, even if their lyrics are purposeful. And whoever dies without repenting from singing, he shares in the sin with those who listen to them after him, because of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever introduces a bad practice in Islam will bear its sin and the sin of those who act upon it after him, without anything being diminished from their sins." And his saying: "No soul is unjustly killed but that the first son of Adam will bear a share of its blood, because he was the first to introduce murder."
