Singing accompanied by a musical instrument is forbidden for both men and women to listen to. As for singing not accompanied by an instrument, its lyrics are considered: if the lyrics are good and call to virtue, it is permissible; otherwise, it is forbidden. The correct view is the permissibility of beneficial poetry and chanting, without excess.
