Is practicing acting and singing halal or haram, especially with the presence of talent and a desire for fame, wealth, and better marriage opportunities?
A woman's involvement in singing and acting is forbidden due to the corruption and temptation it brings. A woman is commanded to be modest, shy, and not to mix with men. How can a Muslim woman offer herself as a cheap commodity to arouse desires? As for talent, it should not be used in forbidden ways. Rather, it should be invested in what pleases Allah, such as da'wah (inviting to Islam), knowledge, memorizing the Qur'an, and associating with righteous women. As for marriage, Allah has decreed its measures, so trust in Him and supplicate to Him to grant you a righteous husband. Whoever abandons something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. A Muslim woman should not be content with a husband who seeks an actress or a singer; rather, she should seek a man of religion.
