Musical Ringtones on the Mobile Phone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 20842 )
Q: Many mobile phones have musical ringtones. Is it permissible to use these ringtones instead of the regular ringtone? We hope you will look into this and guide us with what you see fit. May Allah benefit the Muslims through you, reward you, and protect you from all evil and what is disliked.
A: It is not permissible to use musical ringtones on phones or other devices; because listening to musical instruments is forbidden, as indicated by the evidence of the Shari'ah, and one can do without them by using the regular ringtone.
