The answer

The prohibition of singing increases if it diverts one from prayer and the path of Allah, based on the Almighty's saying: "And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead [others] from the way of Allah without knowledge and takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment." There is no specific evidence linking singing to deprivation of sustenance, but sins and transgressions may deprive a person of sustenance, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, a man may be deprived of sustenance due to a sin he commits."
