am i allowed to listen to music just to waste time
If your a boy, prob not cuz bitul Torah. If your a girl, my opinion would be that if its not for an extended period of time and you’re not throwing off responsibility… Why not!
Boys and girls both can, if u waste time writing to the coffee room u 4sure can waste time listening to music.
Why ask
Technically any time wasted is bittul Torah if you are a man. However most people today are challenged in the area of using time wisely. I will tell you that when you are learning or davening be careful to maximize that time. However a person is allowed and must have time to recharge and relax. You aren’t a machine. If you truly feel that you waste hours a day then you have a problem but if you truly need to listen to music for an hour a day to feel healthy and sane it’s probably a mitzvah to do so. Hashem doesn’t want depressed Jews.
Kul tuv
Hashem doesn’t either want lazy people sitting around all day with headphones in!
All in moderation, me friends!
