bell is one of the musical instruments of Satan." [Muslim]
Commentary
Bells are considered as musical instrument. Other musical instruments include lute, the plectrum, drum, violin, guitar, fiddle, flute, lute, mandolin, harmonium, piano, string, etc. All these are used by Satan to lead the people astray. Nowadays these articles have become alarmingly common. Music of any kind is strictly prohibited in Islam. But it is afflicting the life of every individual in the modern era. Today, people take music as food of the soul (Nauzubillah). It can be true only for those whose souls are overpowered by Satan because one who lives in filth is so used to it that one cannot live without it. May Allah protect us from such satanic occupations. Musical instrumentsare so forbidden in Islam that it prevents putting bells around the necks of animals. As the animal moves the bells moves, thus making a musical sound. The hadith above states that angels do not accompany the travelers who have with them a dog or a bell (angels signify angels of mercy; otherwise we are attended all the time by the angels who record our deeds for us).
