She revealed the reason for taking off the veil after wearing it for 5 years, explaining that it was at the request of her German husband, saying: "I do not blame him because he is not the decision-maker, and the decision came from me."

Hanan added: "I went out before that on a program and said the words that I express myself, and it seems that it was wrong, but I said the things that happened to me in truth, but there are a large number of people who are annoyed with me, and I know that the veil is definitely an obligation and a very beautiful thing."

She noted that there are a large number of people who are not able to wear it, and not just me, "and I hope to wear it again."

She explained, "One of the reasons for my retirement from art is that I wore the hijab for a period of 5 years, and I could not bear to wear it despite my desire not to return to art again."

And she concluded: "The thing that gave me the strength to take off the veil, which is an incorrect decision, was my German husband, who asked me not to wear the veil, and I do not blame him because he is not the decision-maker. The decision came from me, I mean, and currently I am fasting today, and I fast every Monday. and Thursdays."
