Listening to Music During the Three Weeks

Listening to Music During the Three Weeks
Day: Monday
Date: July 25, 2016
Parshat: Pinhas
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 551


During the three weeks we do not listen to music, whether live or recorded. However one may listen to music at a celebration that falls out during that time, like a Brit or a Bar Mitzvah that is being celebrated on the day of the birthday itself. It is also permissible to listen to music at a celebration being made for finishing a masechet. Ashkenazim do not listen to music at all during the three weeks, even at a celebration. A Hazan may sing the prayers and one may sing his Torah learning. However aside from these one should refrain from singing songs that will cause him to become overly happy.
