It is technically not incorrect the way you do it. If you are within a singleton service and you need to access scoped services, then you should create a new service scope and retrieve the services from that scope’s service provider. And when you are done, you should also dispose the scope.

In practice, you can simplify this a bit. You should avoid having to inject IServiceProvider directly into a service. Instead, you can just inject the IServiceScopeFactory directly. And then you should also create the scope with a using statement to make sure that it is disposed properly after use.

So an example singleton service could look like this:

public class ExampleSingletonService
{
    private readonly IServiceScopeFactory _serviceScopeFactory;

    public ExampleSingletonService(IServiceScopeFactory serviceScopeFactory)
    {
        _serviceScopeFactory = serviceScopeFactory;
    }

    public async Task DoSomethingAsync()
    {
        using (var scope = _serviceScopeFactory.CreateScope())
        {
            var db = scope.ServiceProvider.GetService<MyDbContext>();

            db.Add(new Foo());
            await db.SaveChangesAsync();
        }
    }
}

As you can see, there isn’t really that much overhead for this. But of course this makes you think twice about whether you want to use a scoped service within a singleton or not.
