Singing in the Bathroom or Shower

 

Question:

Can one sing Nigunim in bathroom or shower? Or a song with words of Torah? Or a song of other words but to tune of a Niggun?

 

Answer:

Singing Nigunim in the bathroom or shower – although halachically permitted, it may not be appropriate, especially if composed by one of the Rabbeim.

A song with other words but to tune of a Niggun – as above.

A song with words of Torah – not allowed.

Since even thinking words of Torah is forbidden – if the Niggun usually has words of Torah, Tehillim and the like, it may not be sung even without the words because one may come to think the words in one’s mind.
