What is the ruling on listening to songs, and what is the ruling if one is forced to listen to them?

Question : The questioner also asks: What is the ruling on listening to songs when I am forced to listen to them, if this is present in my father’s or my husband’s religion?

Answer : Yes. Listening to songs accompanied by musical instruments, as is known now, is forbidden, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in what is authentic from him from the hadith of Abu Malik al-Ash‘ari, which al-Bukhari narrated: Do you know the meaning of “harām”?
Zina; its origin is “farq,” and the meaning is that they consider zina lawful, may Allah protect us, and silk, intoxicants, and musical instruments. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) compared musical instruments to intoxicants, because these four things are similar, intertwined, and a person practices them all. You find, for example, a young man wearing silk, you find him intoxicated with wine, loving singing, and singing leads to lewdness, because many lewd songs incite a person, and then he seeks to commit lewdness, either with a specific person or in general. In any case, singing that includes musical instruments is forbidden, and it is not permissible for anyone to listen to it. If it is present in the house, it is possible for a person to move from the place where these songs are to another place. Regarding the songs in her house and that she is forced to listen to them to the end? I said in the answer that she can go to another place in the house and be safe from this evil. But with that, she must spare no effort in advising those in the house to stop practicing these forbidden things, so that Allah may guide by it whom He wills of His servants.
