Weggaz retracts amid Dar al-Ifta controversy
The lyrics of a song by the artist Wegz sparked widespread controversy after he used a phrase from a prophetic Hadith, which is "Every man will have what he intended." This led to criticism from the preacher Khaled Zaki, who addressed the use of religious texts in artistic works and requested clarification on the Islamic ruling regarding this matter. In response, Wegz stated that he was unaware that the phrase was a Hadith and expressed his willingness to modify the song's lyrics once he receives proper religious guidance. The Egyptian Dar Al-Iftaa, through its Fatwa Secretary, called for the removal or alteration of the segment due to the significance of religious texts, emphasizing the importance of respecting them. They also sent a message to Wegz inviting him to visit Dar Al-Iftaa to discuss the Islamic legal ruling on using religious texts in entertainment. This incident marks a turning point in the ongoing debate over the permissibility of using religious texts in entertainment works, with Wegz affirming his desire to correct the mistake once the source of the phrase is clarified.
