When performing namâz, if my mobile phone rings melodiously, does it bring harm upon my namâz?

ANSWER
When a mobile rings, it does not nullify the namâz. But according to the statement in Ibni Âbidîn: “it is makrûh to perform namâz against things that distract your heart and prevent your khushû’ [deep and humble reverence], e.g. musical instruments.” Makrûhs lessen the blessings of the namâz. In some mosques, when loudspeakers are on, music may blare out. You must clear away things that prevent the performance of namâz in deep reverence.
