The "Ruling" on Singing

Q: Is singing haram?

A: Singing is haram for two reasons.  If the singer is good, then it excites the senses and allures people away from the only things they are allowed to hear: the recitation of the Qur'an, and the nagging of their four wives.

And if the singer is horrible, people might be confused and think that either an exorcism is required, or somebody is sodomising a dog with a poker iron.  The first would frighten the people, and the second might excite some of them.

However, rapping is allowed since there is no music involved.  The preferred phrases to use include, “Haram”, “You are kafir,” and the classic, “Death to America”.
