Since 2021, the Taliban have imposed strict restrictions on music in various provinces, collecting and destroying musical instruments from music shops, musicians, and wedding halls.
The United Nations has also reported that Taliban morality authorities have imposed restrictions on the playing of music by drivers, hotels and wedding halls.
According to UN reports, although no single explicit decree has been issued announcing a nationwide ban on music, Taliban authorities have enforced restrictions on music through various instructions and measures.
