You use your voice, which is a blessing from God. You use tone and rhythm, which is a blessing from God. You use elegy, which is a natural talent given by God. You have these blessings, so what should you use them for? For enlightening others. If you use them to create division and if you use them to incite anger, this is a bad use of them. Creating divisions, controversy, and anger is not right. It is not right today, and it was not right in Imam Sadiq’s (pbuh) time. He stopped such actions as well. Some people who have a shallow outlook do not pay attention to this matter.
