# If the singer of a recorded song is a wicked person it is forbidden to listen to his music. <Ref> Sh”t Mishna Halachot 6:108. see http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/568482/jewish/Is-there-any-issue-with-listening-to-non-Jewish-music.htm </ref> | # If the singer of a recorded song is a wicked person it is forbidden to listen to his music. <Ref> Sh”t Mishna Halachot 6:108. see http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/568482/jewish/Is-there-any-issue-with-listening-to-non-Jewish-music.htm </ref> | ||
# If a certain singer was religious and then rejected religion, it is forbidden to listen to his music that he produced when he was religious unless the singer’s name is removed from that music and it’s not recognizable that it’s from that singer. <Ref> Sh”t Mishna Halachot 6:108 </ref> | # If a certain singer was religious and then rejected religion, it is forbidden to listen to his music that he produced when he was religious unless the singer’s name is removed from that music and it’s not recognizable that it’s from that singer. <Ref> Sh”t Mishna Halachot 6:108 </ref> | ||
===Wedding=== | |||
# One is allowed to play and listen to music at a wedding. <Ref> Tosfot (Gittin 7a D”H Zimra) writes that for a Tzorech Mitzvah such as to make the Chatan and Kallah happy, one may lechatchila play songs with musical instruments. This is brought by many rishonim including Meiri, Chiddushei HaRan, Tosfot HaRosh, Smag, Hagot Mordechai, Hagot Maimon (Taniot 5) and ruled into Halacha by Rama 560:3, and even Sephardic achronim including Sh”t Yachave Daat 1:45. </ref> | |||
===Sheva Brachot=== | |||
# Some permit playing music at a Sheva Brachot meal during the three weeks, while some forbid. <Ref> Torat HaMoadim 5:4 writes that a simcha of Sheva Brachot would permit music during the three weeks. (It seems that Sh”t Igrot Moshe 166 and Sh”t Yechave Daat 1:45 would agree.) However, Rav Vosner in Sh”t Shevet HaLevi 3:157 writes explicitly that for a simcha of Sheva Brachot music and dancing are forbidden. </ref> | |||
===Chol HaMoed=== | |||
# The minhag is to be lenient regarding playing and listening to music during Chol HaMoed for simchat HaChag. <Ref>Sh”t Mishna Halachot 8:188 leaves it in a tzarich iyun. Az nidabru 10 :23:2 says it’s clearly permissible as does Sh”T Yachave Daat 1:45. </ref> | |||
