The answer

The impermissible singing, whether due to the indecency of its lyrics or its association with musical instruments, does not become permissible for children based on their natural disposition (fitra). The child's fitra is the innate inclination prepared to accept religion. A child may be inclined towards forbidden or harmful things, but this does not imply their permissibility. Furthermore, the sound fitra may not accept forbidden singing, and some children may even be distressed by it and cry.
