Easy question... yes it is because of the banning of musical instruments except the daf/duff drum. It's clear today's pop or chart music is definitely haraam but I wasn't sure 100% of classical music like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. I've also learned some Muslims say even the daf/duff drum is not permitted.

Listening to music isn't "haraam" or sinful..this matter is disputed..so we should not look down upon noble sisters and brothers who enjoy music etc..Music is not going to take them to hell or heaven! Their deeds will and this is what matters...

Also "Haraam" is a VERY heavy word and should NOT be used for anything YOU think is bad/prohibited etc ...

And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is halal and this is haram," to invent falsehood about Allah . Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed. (Qur'an)

I believe that Muslims should produce GREAT music so that their young people won't listen to Western/Bollywood music and hence will not get effected by their culture!

If you are Hanafi Deobandi then you follow scholars who would say it is haram.

Not all scholars hold this view, but most people on here are of the view that those who don't hold this view hold an invalid opinion.

So if others' opinion is not the same as your's ...then their opinion is invalid. Good.
