# Shulchan Aruch 560:3 rules like the Rambam in Yad Chazakah (Taniot 5:14). Rama 560:3 brings the opinion of Tosfot as the Halacha (the prohibition of music is limited to a party or feast with wine.) Additionally, it applies to someone who regularly listens to music when going to sleep and [[waking up]] as is the practice of kings. | # Shulchan Aruch 560:3 rules like the Rambam in Yad Chazakah (Taniot 5:14).

# The Bach 560:3 holds that all music is forbidden whether it’s sung by people, played on instruments, is at a feast or isn't at a feast as the Sh”t HaRambam (see above) holds. Furthermore, the Bach explains that this is also what the Rambam meant in his Yad Chazakah. This stringent opinion is brought as halacha by some achronim including: Magen Avraham 560:8, Shlah (Tanit pg 60d), Bear Sheva (Sotah 49a), Mishna Brurah 560:13, and Sh”t Az Nidabru 8:58(1). Sh”t Igrot Moshe 1:166 writes that a righteous individual should be strict for the Bach, and Sh”t Az Nidbaru 8:58(1) holds that the minhag to rely on the Rama is a weak minhag. | # The Bach 560:3 holds that all music is forbidden whether it’s sung by people, played on instruments, is at a feast or isn't at a feast as the Sh”t HaRambam (see above) holds.

[The Sh”t Sheilat Shlomo (7:59-60) mentions that even though many Achronim follow the Bach, the Mishna Brurah doesn’t bring up any objections against the Rama, so one can surely rely on the Rama. However, this is difficult to understand because the Mishna Brurah 560:13 (also Bear Hetiev 560:6) quotes the objection of the Bach in reference to the Rama.] | ||
# The Sh”t Igrot Moshe 1:166 sides with the Shulchan Aruch and the Rambam in Yad Chazakah that forbid musical instruments in any case. He adds that a Baal Nefesh (one who cares for his soul) should preferably be strict in accordance with the Bach. However, in 3:87 he says not to protest against one who is lenient like the Rama. | |||
