حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تَبِيعُوا الْقَيْنَاتِ وَلَا تَشْتَرُوهُنَّ وَلَا تُعَلِّمُوهُنَّ وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي تِجَارَةٍ فِيهِنَّ وَثَمَنُهُنَّ حَرَامٌ ، وَفِي مِثْلِ هَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ : وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سورة لقمان آية 6 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ إِنَّمَا يُرْوَى مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، وَالْقَاسِمُ ثِقَةٌ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، يَقُولُ : الْقَاسِمُ ثِقَةٌ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ يُضَعَّفُ .
´Narrated Abu Umamah:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do not sell the female singers, nor purchase them, nor teach them (to sing). And there is no good in trade in them, and their prices are unlawful. It was about the likes of this that this Ayah was revealed: 'And among mankind is he who purchases idle talk to divert from the way of Allah (31:6).'"

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, while other scholars have graded it as hasan.
In addition, from other evidences as well, it is found that the buying and selling of these items and earning from them is forbidden (haram).
For details, see: (Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah by al-Albani, no. 2922)
Therefore, even in the pre-Islamic era, the Arabs considered singing and music to be blameworthy, so women from noble families would avoid it. However, slave girls would sing and play music to entertain their masters and their friends, or to receive rewards for singing.
The Arabs of the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic period) used to tell their slave girls to go and earn.
They would earn money for their owners either through music and singing or through prostitution.
Islam has declared such earnings to be haram.
It is not permissible for slave girls to earn in this manner.
➌
Nowadays, music and singing have been labeled as “art” and made a means of earning.
From the perspective of Islamic law, this is not permissible.
Acting in immodest roles in films and adopting modeling as a profession also fall into the same category.
➍
If singing slave girls are not purchased for the purpose of listening to or performing music, but rather for household chores and other permissible services, then it is not prohibited. Similarly, if at the time of sale they are not presented as artists in order to demand a higher price, but are sold as ordinary slave girls, then it will not be haram.
