Likely Haram (2/5). Grand Ayatollah Sistani's jurisprudence governs music strictly through the 'Expert Recognition Test' (A Code of Practice For Muslims in the West, pp. 258-260): music is forbidden if its tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings (majālis al-lahw wa al-la'ib), regardless of whether it arouses sexual desires or soothes the nerves (Q1).

Grey Area (3/5). Under the late Ayatollah Khamenei's framework (Official Jurisprudence Q&A, Booklet 32, Q1121–Q1159 and the dars khārij course Ghena va Moseghi), music is forbidden only if it is lahwī and mutrib—meaning it deviates individuals from the path of Allah, drives them toward sin, or is suitable for gatherings of corruption.
