Q: Certain phones have ringtones which have a tune.
1. Is this considered as music and hence haram? Some are a basic tune e.g. the Nokia tune, the Samsung whistle tune.
2. If the phone is very basic and does not have any other options for ringtone apart from the musical tone, what should one do?
A:
1. Tunes are generally musical. Hence, if it is a musical tone, then it is not permissible.
2. There are cheap phones that do not have musical tones. You should get another phone.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
