QUESTION:

Is it permissible to buy music cassettes or CD's for someone who is
non-Muslim and does not believe the music is haram?
What about for a Shia Muslim who chooses to listen to the music although
he/she is aware of the rulings regarding music.
Please reply according to Ayat. Sistani


ANSWER:

It is not permissible to do any such thing that could encourage the
disobedience of Allah irrespective of whether the person believes the act to
be an act of disobedience or not.
