Question
Hello, if a person sings a verse with a melody (Friday evening, during Shabbat, or in general), where the name of God is mentioned, is it permissible to say the name of God as part of the verse only in song?
Answer
Hello
Songs from verses or poems that include the name of God are permitted to say the name of God. Care should be taken to pronounce the words correctly so that they have the significance of Shabbat for God. [And not to repeat words in a way that the sentence loses its meaning, etc.].
Also, attention should be paid to ensure that hands are clean, not after touching unclean places, and that it is not opposite a toilet, etc. As with all laws of saying sacred words.
Since there are several details and attention required, some avoid saying the name of God in songs and poems.
