Correcting someone who is listening to music
Question
My brother was playing a game and music was loud in the background. I told him to stop and he said ‘be quiet, it’s a live event (referring to a feature of a game)’. He is baaligh, is this kufr?
Answer
This is not kufr, but listening to music is not permissible. Hence, he should make sincere taubah for his wrong. Similarly, he should be taught that when he is corrected for his wrong, he should accept his mistake and not say anything.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
