Question

Many times people post bayans of various Ulema on the whatsapp. There is usually a nasheed playing in the background. Many times it sounds just like music. Only after hearing very closely can one make out its not music. Will it be permissible to listen to such audios?

Answer

Avoid listening to these.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
