Listening to Songs

Question
Is it permissible by Sharia to listen to religious songs?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: We must avoid music altogether, and it is permissible to use the daf (a type of drum) at weddings, and drums can be used, but listening to music is not allowed. The lyrics must be free from obscenity and calls to immorality, alcohol, and desires. God knows best.
