Question

Is it permissible to listen to songs on Isru Chag? And for those who refrain from buying chametz sold to a non-Jew, is it also forbidden to buy chametz that was genuinely owned by a non-Jew, such as in stores in Arab villages where it is known that the chametz was purchased before Pesach, or does this only apply to sold chametz?

Answer

Hello,

I have not found a permission to listen to music during the days of the Omer count, not even on Isru Chag.

It is permissible to buy chametz that was entirely owned by a non-Jew during Pesach, and this does not relate to the stringency of not eating chametz sold in a chametz sale. Since only in the sale of chametz is there room to doubt whether the sale was conducted according to law, but in the complete ownership of a non-Jew, there is no room for this.
