The questioner : Now, this is regarding those who perform it and gather in circles for it, but what is the ruling for one who listens to it, as the questioner mentioned?
The Shaykh : Yes, as for listening to it, this is not permissible.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because listening to what is wrong is itself wrong. As for hearing it while a person is just passing by, or hearing it while a person is in his house without intending to listen, this does not harm him.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : However, it is obligatory for him to advise them and forbid them from doing so. If they stop, fine; if not, he owes them nothing.
