# It is forbidden for someone mourning a parent to listen to music for 12 months.<ref>Maharam Shik YD 368 writes that going to a place that has music playing or playing music during the 12 months after a parent passes away is forbidden. He learns it from the prohibition to go to a wedding. Aruch Hashulchan 391:12 agrees that listening to music is forbidden based on the prohibition to go to weddings. Badei Hashulchan 391:45, Divrei Sofrim 391:51, and Chazon Ovadia (Aveilut v. 2, p. 364) agree. [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=741&st=&pgnum=355 Zera Emet YD 2:157] writes that playing music during shiva is certainly forbidden because it brings a person to simcha no less than holding a child ( | # It is forbidden for someone mourning a parent to listen to music for 12 months.<ref>Maharam Shik YD 368 writes that going to a place that has music playing or playing music during the 12 months after a parent passes away is forbidden.

He discusses if playing music without a meal is forbidden during shloshim for other relatives based on the idea of going to weddings. Nimukei Orach Chaim 697:3 holds that listening to music is forbidden during 12 month for a parent. Rav Mordechai Willig ([http://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/880536/rabbi-mordechai-i-willig/aveilut-shiur-24-going-to-simcha-s/ Aveilut Shiur 24]) questions this approach and suggests that perhaps listing to music is only forbidden in the context of a meal.</ref> | ||
