What is the ruling on singing, what are the evidences for its prohibition, and what of it is permissible?

The ruling on singing varies according to its type. If the singing involves a musical instrument (a musical instrument), then listening to it is forbidden for both men and women by consensus, except for what has been explicitly exempted by evidence, such as the duff (tambourine). As for singing without an instrument: if it is by a woman for men, it is forbidden. If it is for women on an occasion like a wedding, with good words, then it is permissible. If the singing is by a man, then the type of words is considered: if they are good and call to virtue, then it is permissible as long as it is not excessive. If the words are vulgar and call to vice, then it is forbidden.
