Question

If I sing sometimes will it be a sin? Is singing prohibited in Islam?

Answer

If you sing to yourself it is permissible, provided the content is in keeping to the teachings of deen. Do not adopt the signing style of professional singers.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
