The answer

It is absolutely forbidden to use musical instruments, and the only exception is the tambourine (daf) for women, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "There will be people from my Ummah who will legitimize illegal sexual intercourse, silk, alcoholic drinks, and musical instruments." Narrated by Al-Bukhari. Some scholars have reported a consensus on the prohibition of musical instruments, with the exception of the tambourine for women.
