Music and other musical instruments are prohibited by texts and the consensus of scholars. There is no difference between their types in terms of prohibition. What is attributed to Sheikh Al-Shaarawi is an ijtihad (independent reasoning) that should not be followed. You must remove musical clips from your channel and strive to have them removed by anyone who has shared them.
