Imam Al-Qurtubi :

As for what the Sufis have innovated in this day and age — regarding their addiction to listening to songs performed with enchanting instruments, such as flutes, tambourines, lutes, and stringed instruments — it is forbidden (haram).

فأما ما ابتدعته الصوفية اليوم من الإدمان على سماع المغاني بالآلات المطربة من الشبابات والطار والمعازف والأوتار فحرام.
