Female Playing A Coquettish Role In A Movie, Film Or A Drama
As a principle, if the parable (تمثیل) shown in the movie and the reality (حقیقت) can be easily distinguished (e.g. showing an act of theft in a movie ), and that act is not prohibited in Islam even in the form of a parable (تمثیل) (e.g. showing act of polytheism or act of intimacy beween opposite gender ) then there is no prohibtion in portraying such acts. While playing such a role as mentioned in the question, following religious directives may get violated: 1 ) Refraining from a lustful gaze ( Sadd-e-Zariya Directive ) 2 ) Dressing which fully covers private parts ( Obligatory Directive ) and parts annexed to them ( Sadd-e-Zariya Directive ) 3 ) Women to refrain from displaying adornments/embellishments expect for hands, face and feet ( Sadd-e-Zariya Directive ). If the above three directives can be taken care of while playing such a role, then there won’t be any issue. As for sadd-e-Zariya directives ( preventive directives ) in the context of movies and films, every attempt should be made to abide by them. But in cases where some social, technical or educational requirement demands violation of any such directive, then such violation should be kept to the minimum.
