Does listening to songs affect the validity of the prayer of the one who listens to them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who prays and then listens to musical songs afterward, and does it affect his prayer?

Answer:
It is not permissible to listen to songs and musical instruments, which are instruments of amusement. This is a sin, and he commits a sin by doing it. However, his prayer is valid. He commits a sin regarding the disobedience, he is rewarded for the obedience, and he is punished for the disobedience. So he should repent to Allah and leave the sins. Yes.
