He says: Many people are lax regarding phone ringtones; sometimes they are set to music, and everyone in the mosque can hear the sound.

Music is not permissible, neither on the phone nor on any other device, because it is among musical instruments and instruments of amusement, and it is forbidden by the consensus of the scholars. The scholars have unanimously agreed on the prohibition of all musical instruments and instruments of amusement, whether on the phone or on anything else. One can set the phone to a notification that is not music, songs, or any of the speech that is not permissible.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
