Listening to forbidden singing is one of the reprehensible acts that must be changed by hand; if one is unable, then by tongue; and if unable, then by heart. Changing reprehensible acts falls under inviting to Allah with wisdom and good counsel. Whoever witnesses a reprehensible act should hasten to denounce it, unless they fear the occurrence of a greater evil. If delaying the denunciation serves a greater good, there is no harm in that.
