Wa Alaikum as-salam

According to ayatullah sistani there is no problem in listening and using halal music.

Forbidden music is the music that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings, even if it does not arouse sexual temptations.

Permissible music is the music that is not suitable for such gatherings, even if it does not soothe the nerves like the martial music and that played at funerals.
