Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed ten types of people regarding wine: its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, its drinker, its carrier, the one to whom it is carried, its server, its seller, the one who consumes its price, its buyer, and the one for whom it is bought."

Its carrier
(1) "Its carrier" - Abu Hanifa uniquely holds that wages for transporting wine are permissible if not intended for consumption. The hadith refers to those involved in facilitating drinking. [Al-'Urf ash-Shadhi]

Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Allah has cursed wine, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, its carrier, and the one to whom it is carried."
Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Do not sell female singers, do not buy them, do not teach them (music), and their earnings are unlawful. About such matters was revealed: 'And among people are those who purchase idle talk...' (Luqman 31:6)" [Narrated by Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah]
Tirmidhi noted: "This is a gharib hadith with a weak narrator (Ali ibn Yazid)."
Ibn Majah's version states: "The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited selling female singers."

Note 1
Do not sell female singers
(1) "Do not sell female singers" - The prohibition applies specifically to transactions for musical purposes. Most scholars permit their sale otherwise, considering the hadith weak. The prohibition targets earnings from sinful activities, like selling grapes for wine. [Al-Mirqat]
(2) "Their earnings are unlawful" - Only payments directly for singing are forbidden, not general transactions unrelated to music. [Al-Kawkab ad-Durri]

قوله
(۱)قوله: لا تبيعوا القينات إلخ قال القاضي: النهي مقصور على البيع والشراء لأجل التغني، وحرمة ثمنها دليل على فسادبيعها، والجمهور صححوا بيعها، والحديث مع ما فيه من الضعف للطعن في روايته مؤول بأن أخذا الثمن عليهن حرام، كأخذ ثمن العنب من النباذ؛ لأنه إعانة وتوسل إلى حصول محرم، لا لأن البيع غير صحيح. قاله في «المرقاة».

قوله
(۲) قوله: ثمنهن حرام أي ما كان منه على غنائها، فإن المأخذ منه منظور إليه في الحكم على المشتق، ولا يحرم الثمن إذا باعها من غير نظر إلى وصف غنائها. كذا في الكوكب الدري».
