CAIRO — Egypt and several other Arab countries are debating whether singing and acting are haram after Jordanian artist Adham Nabulsi announced his retirement from singing because “it does not go in line with God’s commands.”
In a video he published on Facebook on Dec. 20, Nabulsi said, “The main goal is to worship God and obey his commands, and through my current career, I don’t see this happening.” He described his retirement announcement as “good news.”
