Is electronic music devoid of live instruments and vocalizations included under the prohibition of regular songs? And is it permissible to upload games and programs circulated online, knowing that the producing company has covered its costs and profits from sales?

The scholars have reached a consensus on the prohibition of musical instruments, except for what has been specifically exempted by evidence, such as the drum (duff) for women at weddings and Eids. Electronic music shares the same ruling as music produced by traditional instruments and musical instruments. It is permissible to upload programs and games to forums, provided they are free from prohibitions, and that their owners do not object to their download and copying.
