Question

Is there a reason to mourn for the kidnapped (or is there an obligation) and therefore not listen to music?

Answer

Hello,

Certainly, anyone with a Jewish heart mourns the situation of the kidnapped.

However, we have not found a decree against listening to music when Jews are in distress.

If you personally feel that it is inappropriate in such a situation, then you are praiseworthy.
