The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On August 15, Saudi actor Abdullah Al-Sadhan posted a video on Twitter of a woman wearing a full-face veil singing and conveyed his unwavering support for her performance. The video of a Niqab-clad woman singing went viral and caused outrage in Saudi Arabia. The actor commended the woman in his tweet for her voice and wrote, "I just want to say that may Allah protect you. Finding a job and earning money for sustenance is difficult. Keep going with your beautiful voice regardless of what others think about you." However, some from religious Saudi Muslim communities did not appreciate her endeavor, as singing is considered "haram," and such performances by women are contrary to traditional and religious norms. One user questioned why she wore the Niqab while singing and performing, "Why does she wear the Niqab if she's started down this path? If she took it off, it would be better than offending it." Many from the Islamic faith believe that listening to music or singing is considered forbidden as it is viewed as a corrupting influence.
