Which is the greater sin: the singer or the reciter who imitates the singers in their melodies and humming?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is the greater sin and crime? Is it the singer or the reciter who recites in these days and imitates the singers in their melodies and humming, like the practice of the reciters who claim that their work is one of the means of da'wah (calling others to Islam)?

Answer:
There is no good in any of it; there is no good in all of this. If it is for the sake of entertainment, it is forbidden because it is from amusement. And if they attribute it to da'wah, it is more severe because it is considered a bid'ah (religious innovation). Because they have introduced into da'wah what is not part of it.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not call with songs. Rather, he called with the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He did not establish (peace and blessings be upon him) recitation groups and say, "This is part of da'wah," for people to listen to it. We do not open these doors because they lead to evil.
And da'wah, praise be to Allah, is sufficient with what is in the Book and the Sunnah and the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in da'wah. So the one who wants to call to Allah should study the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in da'wah and follow it. Allah the Exalted said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not establish recitation groups or collective songs and say, "This is part of da'wah," as an encouragement in da'wah. Every newly invented matter is a bid'ah, every bid'ah is misguidance. Yes.
