Elham Shaheen responds to critics of her prayer without a veil

Elham Shaheen at the funeral of Maha Abu Auf

Egyptian actress Ilham Shaheen responded to a wave of criticism she was subjected to after appearing in a video in which she prayed without a veil at the funeral of the late artist Maha Abu Auf.

Elham said on the program "Kalam al-Nas" that the veil fell on my shoulder, slipped and did not pay attention, and after I realized I lifted it and completed the prayer.

And about the mockery of some of her kneeling, even though the funeral prayer does not take place in it, and Ilham confirmed that she was praying the back.

Ilham Shaheen sent a message to her critics and to those who filmed her at the funeral, saying: People are empty and trivial, and those who film people praying are trivial.

Elham Shaheen said that Maha Abu Auf was a colleague and they had many memories with each other, noting that the nature of the artists' work that obliges them to coexist with each other for a long time during filming a work of art makes them like a family, according to "Cairo 24".

Elham confirmed that she does not follow “Social Media” at all, pointing out that there are a large number of artists present at Maha Abu Auf’s condolences, to the point that she did not recognize some of the artists who were wearing veils and masks, and she did not even know that Donia Samir Ghanem was in the funeral. Only after seeing the pictures.
