Scholars differ Speech & character

Is music haram?

Short answer

Scholars differ. Most classical scholars held that musical instruments are forbidden, relying on the verse about idle talk that misleads from Allah's path (31:6) and on hadith they understood to forbid them. Others, such as Ibn Hazm, permitted singing and music that contain nothing forbidden. All agree that anything with obscene words or a call to sin is forbidden, and that the daff at weddings and Eid is allowed. To be safe, leave what is doubtful and ask a scholar you trust.

Evidence

Quran

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِى لَهْوَ ٱلْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۢ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ مُّهِينٌۭ ﴿٦﴾

Hay entre los hombres quien compra historietas divertidas para, sin conocimiento, extraviar a otros del camino de Alá y para tomarlo a burla. Quienes tal hagan tendrán un castigo humillante.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
