Is it permissible to play and sing a verse from the Song of Songs?
Answer
It is forbidden to play and sing verses from the Song of Songs, and the prohibition of singing verses applies only when it is done in a mocking manner or as love songs, as explained in Yad Ramah, that the entire prohibition is in a manner of jest. However, if one sings in a manner of praise to the Almighty and it inspires service to God, it is permitted.
