The hadith: “The angels do not accompany a group in which there is a dog or a bell,” and the ruling on singing while traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said
The angels do no accompany a group among whom there is a dog or a bell.لا تصحب الملائكة رفقة فيها كلب ولا جرس
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1703Sahih (Darussalam)
, so does a traveler who listens to singing during his trip fall under this hadith because of the mention of a bell?

Answer:
This is a continuation of the previous answer. He should also appoint a substitute if he realizes he is not in a state of ritual purity. He appoints someone to complete the prayer with the congregation, then he goes to perform wudu. He does not continue his prayer while not in a state of wudu, because that invalidates his prayer and the prayer of those behind him. If he continues while not in a state of wudu, the prayer of everyone is invalid. As for listening to songs, it is more severe than listening to a bell. Listening to songs—songs are forbidden and not permissible. Especially if they are accompanied by flutes or other musical instruments, it is even more severe, so a Muslim should not listen to them. Yes.
