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﴾

有人购买无谓的谈话,以便他无知无识地使人背离真主的正道,而且把它当作笑柄。这等人,将受凌辱的刑罚。

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