It is forbidden, according to scholars, to take pleasure in the voice of an adult foreign (non-mahram) woman. Therefore, it is not permissible for her to soften her voice for men, nor for men to listen to the singing of female singers for fear of temptation. This is a form of the forbidden fornication of the ear. If the singing is accompanied by music, that constitutes another prohibition.
