Is it permissible to listen to music if I'm doing it w the intention of 1. Studying and 2. Reliving stress
Sw everyone, I know how music is haram, and altho I haven't properly read why, my understanding of it is that music helps u to release stress, change your mood etc etc, in short it lowkey helps u to change n regulate your mood- and I get why it's haram — we shouldn't be dependent on things to regulate our emotions and i 100% agree w it.
But the thing is that I see people around me doing all kinds of stuff that helps them to work and get to better places in life, for ex career etc etc, seems kinda unfair( not really, I'm not able to come up with a better word), I just want an alternate to things like music, dancing, etc etc because altho they are addicting, they do lowkey help u release stress.
I'm trying to prepare for an exam for a while now amongst other things, and it gets really hard honestly w.r.t stress management, I'm lowkey stressed all the time, either actively or passively, and I have to give my exam in a month, amongst other things. Can u please suggest me what to do? I just wanna become a better person, nothing else, both career wise and religiously because I absolutely love islam.
Please help me gang.
Tldr: stress management, loads of stress, how to handle? Is music allowed if I'm using it for study?
