The Shaykh:
Yes, it is a type of music, a type of music, but there is leniency in it for the sake of necessity, like the bell in the house, the bell in the house now, you do not hear it causing annoyance, or disturbing people, you do not hear it in modern houses, and it is necessary to adopt these matters, the clock bell that is above the prayer, that leniency is granted in it for the sake of necessity, because it was not adopted for entertainment, and if it was not adopted for the sake of necessity, and also it does not last, it is not a time, it is only a notification, a notification of a call, a notification of getting up from sleep, a notification that one is asking permission to enter the house, by the necessity, yes.

If it is possible, may Allah reward you, change the ringtones of guns and mobile phones to non-musical ringtones that are purely for notification, so that this does not burden its owner?
The Shaykh:
It should be lowered from music, lower it, make it just a notification, this is what should be done, and if you find a mobile phone like this, strive to convince him.

May Allah reward you
