The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This is a question that has been asked repeatedly. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a wife to sing for her husband, and vice versa?
The Shaykh:
Singing is not permissible, neither from the wife nor the husband nor from anyone else. Singing is forbidden.
The questioner:
The kind that is the vessel of pleasure, this is forbidden.
The Shaykh:
As for singing that is merely the voice and reciting poetry with the voice, there is nothing wrong with it. This is called reciting poetry with the voice, and there is nothing wrong with it. As for singing that is pleasure, this is not permissible, the artistic kind they call artistic. Yes.
