What is the ruling on recording verses from the Book of Allah with the voice of a singer, and is this considered a degradation of the Book of Allah?
Lewd singing is forbidden in Islam, but if someone who commits this act performs good deeds like fasting, charity, or reciting the Quran, then Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good deeds and does not wrong them, based on His saying, the Almighty: "So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it," and His saying: "Indeed, Allah does not wrong [even] as much as a speck of a dust particle; but if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from His presence a great reward." So, if the reciter is sincere in his recitation of the Quran, this is a righteous deed for which he will be rewarded, and it should not be denied. His recitation might even be a cause for his guidance and repentance. The disobedient should be encouraged to obey, because it may benefit them and be a cause for their guidance.
