Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 551
One who makes a living playing musical instruments may continue playing them during the three weeks for people who are allowed listen to music during that time as long as he's not doing it just because he wants to listen to music.
It is not acceptable to play music in front of people who are not religious even if they want it. One who does play music in front of people who are not allowed to hear it during the three weeks has transgressed the negative commandment of "do not place a stumbling block before a blind person."
One may not engage in lightheadedness and other wastes of time ever, since they empower one's evil inclination. This has nothing to with the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash.
DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org |
