The question

What is the ruling on music accompanying da‘wah clips on YouTube, which was placed based on a statement by Sheikh Al-Sha‘rawi that forbidden music is only that which incites immorality, especially given the widespread dissemination of these clips after other users adopted them?

The answer

Music and other musical instruments are prohibited by texts and the consensus of scholars. There is no difference between their types in terms of prohibition. What is attributed to Sheikh Al-Shaarawi is an ijtihad (independent reasoning) that should not be followed. You must remove musical clips from your channel and strive to have them removed by anyone who has shared them.
