Hairdresser's statements ignite social media

The controversy began after the hairstylist posted a video announcing his retirement from styling actresses' hair. He said, "It all started when I was styling Asmaa Galal's hair to make her look better on camera. Then I asked myself, 'What am I doing?' I started wondering, 'Is my job permissible or forbidden?' So I decided to retire and open a clothing brand, something I can trade in that is permissible." These statements sparked widespread reactions, with some considering them an implicit insult to female artists, prompting Asmaa Galal to take legal action.
