The Ruling on Mobile Phone Tones and Alarms

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As Allah guided you and His Messenger in the previous hadith. The angels do not hear the sermon in which there is a prohibition or a negation. As for what we hear from the jewels in this hadith

Answer:
Yes, it includes mobile phone tones that contain music. Yes, music is forbidden, but a mere alert that serves as a notification for the clock or the phone, which is just an alert and contains no tones or music, is permissible out of necessity.
Yes, just as you set the clock; you have two of them, and when the time comes that you want the clock to strike for the reminder, this is a need. It is like what you put on the door today; today it is not in the houses as it was from the beginning, meaning on the mat, and when someone touches the door and speaks, you hear him.
Now, you are behind walls and far away in these villas. So people adopted this doorbell out of necessity, but it should not contain music or entertainment, or it should be just an alert. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
