Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: One who is afflicted with listening to songs, what is the way to get rid of this matter and this listening?
Answer:
The way is that he resolves, he resolves to leave it, and he does not have any hesitation in leaving it; that is one thing. Second, he does not keep company with those who use songs or listen to them; he stays away from bad companions, he stays away from them. Third, he must turn to the Qur'an; reciting the Qur'an suffices him for everything in this world. He recites the Qur'an, and he listens to those who recite the Qur'an with beautiful and good voices, and Allah will suffice him from songs and from what is in their category. Yes.
