Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

All kinds of music are forbidden. Indeed, there is nothing good in music. So, if the child grows up with it, he will like it too much and will be addicted to it. Allah, the great and Almighty, has made legal a variety of useful means for acquiring knowledge. So, one should stick to these means and leave out anything that is forbidden by Allah.

Allah knows best.
