Ruling on treating disease with music

There is no basis for treating disease with music. This is one of
the actions of the foolish. Music is not a treatment, it is a disease
which takes the form of musical instruments. All of it is a disease
of the heart which corrupts people. The beneficial treatment which brings
peace to the soul is for the sick person to listen to the Qur’aan and
useful lessons and ahaadeeth. Treating disease with music and musical
instruments will merely make them get used to falsehood and make them
even more sick, and it will make it hard for them to listen to the Qur’aan
and Sunnah and useful lessons. There is no help and no strength except
with Allaah.
