Question

Hello, Is it permissible to listen to vocal songs in the a cappella style? This refers to listening to songs mainly while working on a computer when there is a need to disconnect from external conversations and concentrate.

Hello,

When there is no intention to enjoy the music, and it is used solely for concentration at work, it is permitted.
