Egyptian cinema was not devoid of the religious dimension in general in many of its films. The position of the fatwa and muftis on cinema and art in general has often been discussed.

The fatwa on cinematic films, the contexts in which it is received, and the extent of its validity from a jurisprudential standpoint have not been examined. The film, or the dramatic plot, is based on a fatwa, whether its transmission is correct or not, and whether this fatwa is likely or likely, strong or weak.
