Question #385:

Is it correct to perform prayer in a place where forbidden music is being played?

Answer #385:

If it entails listening to a ḥarām kind of music, staying there is not permissible, although performing prayer is considered valid. If the sound of music distracts one’s attention and concentration, performing prayer there will be makrūh.
