The composer creates music, and his work is unlawful if the music is unlawful. Everyone who assists in this is a partner in the sin. Money earned from composing and distributing music is unlawful money, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, when Allah Almighty prohibits the eating of something, He prohibits its price."
