Keeping cheeping bells at home

Question

I have cheeping bells in my house. Is it allowed for me according to Islam to leave those in my house? They ring autonomously?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The sound of cheeping is not among the forbidden musical instruments, and it is not forbidden to listen to it. Therefore, it is permissible for you to have these bells because in principle all things are permissible, and it is only what is forbidden in the Sharee'ah that is impermissible.

Allaah knows best.
