Question
Why is it forbidden for a husband to listen to his wife singing during her niddah days? Thank you.
Answer
Dear Rabbi,
Since a woman in the state of niddah is included in the category of all 'ervah' in the Torah. Therefore, just as it is forbidden to listen to the singing of a strange woman, according to the law of 'kol b'isha ervah', so too a woman in the state of niddah is included in this prohibition.
[An exception is the prohibition of yichud, which is permitted with one's wife for certain reasons, but other matters are forbidden with a woman in the state of niddah as they are with other ervah].
