#< | # It’s forbidden to listen to music from musical instruments during the three weeks. <Ref> Sh”t Kapei Aharon 52 writes that it’s clearly forbidden to listen to music during the three weeks. This is brought in Sh”t Igrot Moshe 1:166. Nitai Gavriel 15:1 writes that this law is missing from S”A and early poskim because there’s a general prohibition of [[listening to music]] and so there was no question about the three weeks. [There is a hint to the prohibition in the Pri Megadim and Maharam Shik who discuss playing music for an income during the three weeks.] However, because many are lenient like the Rama (unlike S”A and Bach) and are lenient regarding music all year, this question became relevant and it’s unanimously accepted by contemporary poskim that music is forbidden during the three weeks because it brings with it simcha just like dancing (explicitly forbidden by Magan Avraham 551:10). See next notes. </ref> | ||
# Some say that one may listen to vocal music during the three weeks but not the 9 days. <Ref> Mekor Chaim 551:1 and Or letzion 3:25:2 write that during the 9 days one shouldn’t listen to even vocal music. This is brought as halacha in the Halachot UMinhagei Ben HaMesarim (by Rabbi Moshe Karp pg 25) and Nachmat Yisrael 3:3. leninet until rosh chodesh, Rav Ovadyah (Chazon Ovadyah 151-4, Torat Hamoadim 5:2) is lenient with vocal song that are praise to Hashem (especially for Shabbat including Shabbat chazon). </ref> | |||
# Many authorities forbid listening to recorded music (music with instruments) during the three weeks. <Ref> Nitay gavriel 15:1 (based on Shalmat Chaim 29:1, Mishnat Sachir 2:145, Sh”t Ohel Yisachar 39, Divrei Shalom 3:118), Penieni Halacha (pg 144; based on igrot Moshe yd 2:137, and yachave daat 6:34), Torat Hamoadim 5:2, and Rav Ovadyah (Sh”t Yachave Daat 6:34, Chazon Ovadyah 151) hold that recorded music is forbidden during the three weeks. </ref> | |||
# Some say that listening to recorded vocal music is forbidden, while others permit. <Ref> Sh”t Shevet Halevi 6:69, 8:127, Nitai Gavriel 15:1, Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 15:33, and Nechmat Yisrael 3:4 forbid listening to a recorded vocal song. However, Sh”t Igrot Moshe YD 2:137, Sh”t Yachave Daat 6:34 permit (regarding Jewish music). </ref> | |||
