Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The prohibition of music accompanied by musical instruments is established by evidence. A Muslim must dislike it and forbid it. Voting for a female singer to win via mobile phone includes several religiously forbidden acts: condoning sin, failing to forbid evil, encouraging people involved in music in their disobedience, spending money on unlawful things, and a Muslim's preoccupation with trivial programs that distract them from what is beneficial. The expiation for this is repentance, which involves regretting the act, abandoning it, resolving not to return to it, and striving to perform righteous deeds.
