Is acting forbidden or not, and will the actress who does not wear the hijab be held accountable for her hijab and her acting? And is the money earned from it unlawful?
Scholars differ regarding the ruling on acting. However, it is not permissible for a woman to act in front of men. The sin intensifies whenever the Sharia prohibitions increase, such as displaying adornment (tabarruj), singing, speaking softly and alluringly, and corrupt content. Money earned from unlawful work is unlawful, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Indeed, when Allah prohibits a thing, He also prohibits its price."
