Is Singing a Sin in Islam?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

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

Bismillaah

A: 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.
