The ruling on a man remaining with his family who are sinning by listening to songs

Question:
If a man orders his family to abandon musical instruments and songs, but they do not listen to him or obey him, what should he do? Does he remain with them under one roof, knowing that he has tried every means to deter them but to no avail? Also, if a wife disobeys her husband when he orders her to stop listening to songs, does he separate from her, or what should he do?

Answer:
He is required to strive to offer advice in a good manner, and to cooperate with his good relatives, such as his brothers, uncles, and maternal uncles. He should not become distressed or despair. He must be patient and focus on advising his wife, father, mother, sisters, and brothers. If they do not accept the advice and it does not benefit them, he should move to another house, and praise be to Allah. He should not participate in the falsehood. However, he should not despair or be hasty, nor should he be aggressive; rather, he should use a good manner, kind words, and encouragement and warning. He should encourage them with the reward of Allah and warn them of the punishment of Allah. Similarly, he should advise his wife and explain things to her in a good manner until Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, guides her and she stays away from listening to songs. If he is able to remove the tapes that are with her, he should remove them so that she is safe from the reprehensible songs. Likewise, if the television is in the house and advice does not benefit her, he should remove it from the house if he is able. If the matter is in the hands of someone else, he can move to another house where he is safe if she is playing songs. May Allah encourage her, Glorified and Exalted is He, if he does not know. May Allah encourage her, the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
