Frum music in the shower

Question

Hi, hope all is well; I was wondering if I’m allowed to play frum/yeshivish music in the shower (emphasising that some songs might say hashems name or psukim)

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

It is forbidden to listen to Jewish music that includes G-d's name, or that includues verses from the Torah, while in the shower.
