The ruling on listening to songs in the market and leaving it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: If I am in a public place, such as a market for example, and I hear songs
The Shaykh:
Songs. What does he say if?
The questioner:
If I am in a public place, such as a market for example, and I hear songs being broadcast through the loudspeakers there, is it obligatory for me to leave the market because of this evil?
The Shaykh:
It is not sufficient for you to leave it; you must forbid it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a Meaning, you should advise them and forbid them from it, and make it clear to them that this is not permissible. If you have authority and you are one of the members of the body of market inspectors, you change it with your hand. Do not say, "I will leave the market and leave the market with its sin?" No.

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue
