Should one distance oneself from a close friend who listens to music?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The widespread singing nowadays, accompanied by musical instruments, is forbidden. Therefore, you must advise your friend who listens to it and explain its prohibition to him. If he responds, you will have a great reward. If he insists on the disobedience, then abandon him if there is a benefit in abandonment, such as him quitting the songs, or if you fear he might drag you into falsehood. For a bad companion affects his companion, and abandoning people of disobedience is a branch of faith.
