The Ruling on What Is Called Islamic Acting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on acting, or what is called Islamic acting, which is held in some charitable associations and summer centers?
The Shaykh : We see that there is nothing wrong with it if it is to address a problem in society, provided that it does not include anything religiously forbidden, such as a man playing the role of a woman, or a woman playing the role of a man, or a man playing the role of one of the imams of the Muslims, or the righteous predecessors, or the like.
So if it does not include anything forbidden, there is no blame in it.
