The answer

All musical instruments are forbidden. The prohibition of musical instruments (ma'azif) is mentioned in the noble prophetic hadith narrated by al-Bukhari from Abu Malik al-Ash'ari or Abu 'Amir, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There will be among my Ummah people who will consider unlawful sexual intercourse, silk, wine, and musical instruments (ma'azif) to be lawful."
