The answer

Songs accompanied by musical instruments are forbidden, and sins have ill-effects and punishments that afflict their perpetrator and others, leading to various types of corruption on earth. This corruption has appeared on land and sea due to what people's hands have earned. However, the claim that when a singer sings about something, a problem befalls them, is a dispraised pessimism in Islamic law, directed at the person of the singer, and is not from the fear of the ill-effects of sin. A Muslim must distance themselves from such pessimism.
