Does Fatwa no. 158899, which states that exposure to transmogrification (maskh) applies only to those who legitimize songs and musical instruments through deceit and corrupt interpretation, and not to the disobedient who do not legitimize them, include all forbidden sounds such as women's singing and all types of musical instruments and amusements? And what is the final, most رجحان (preferable) opinion between this fatwa and Fatwa no. 20951, which mentions the possibility of transmogrification for anyone who listens to songs in an absolute sense? And does the chosen opinion include the prohibition of all forbidden sounds?

We thank the questioner for their communication and follow-up. We have clarified the ruling on singing of all types, and the ruling on each type regarding its permissibility or prohibition. What was mentioned about the possibility of listeners of forbidden songs being transformed is not our choice, but rather based on authentic prophetic traditions and explicit statements from trustworthy scholars. There is no contradiction between the two fatwas; the first is general, and the second is specific and clarifies the first.
