Question
Is it permissible to sing or contemplate songs that include words of Torah, such as verses from the Tanakh or sayings of the Sages, in places where Torah study is forbidden (such as in the shower, etc.)? Is it allowed because my intention is not to study Torah but only to sing, or since the content is Torah-related, is it forbidden in any case? Also, should there be a distinction between songs that include complete quotes and those that contain only parts of verses or sayings?
Answer
Hello
Anything considered Torah is forbidden in unclean places.
If it involves parts of verses or parts of prayers that do not have sanctity, it is permitted.
