Chapter 18
The Sixteenth Greater Sin : Singing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sixteenth Greater sin is singing songs. Traditions have graded it amongst the mortal sins. This fact is clear from the narration of Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) as quoted by Amash. Muhammad Ibn Muslim relates that Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) said,
“Singing is that sin which has been promised a penalty of fire (Hell) by Allah.”
It is evident from numerous reports, that whichever sin incurs Hell as its punishment, is a Greater Sin. Singing too falls in that category.
