A statement by Egyptian business tycoon and billionaire Naguib Sawiris regarding his viewpoint of the hijab caused an uproar on social media over the past two days. Sawiris explained in the same interview: “Women are beautiful. If God does not want them to be beautiful, He wouldn’t have created them like that. Similar controversy arose over statements by actress Hala Shiha. I am talking about the people who judge a woman’s faith through the hijab,” she added in an Instagram story.
