What is the ruling on a husband and his nine-year-old son playing the guitar, with the latter insisting that it is not haraam?

The guitar is one of the forbidden musical instruments. The husband should be advised gently, and the ruling of Islamic law concerning it should be explained to him. He should be warned against speaking about Allah without knowledge and encouraged to consult fatwas from trustworthy scholars regarding the ruling on musical instruments.
