Actor Nauman Ijaz has given a sharp reply to a social media user who questioned whether his earnings from showbiz are halal or haram.
The discussion started after Nauman Ijaz shared an Instagram video. In the video, he talked about how Allah has given humans natural senses to recognize harm. He said that when we touch something hot, our hand warns us. When we eat something hard or bitter, our mouth tells us. When food is spoiled, our nose can sense it.
He added that there is only one matter where Allah has left the decision to us, with His guidance: knowing what is halal and what is haram. He asked people to think about whether they truly know if what they eat, earn, or do is halal or haram. He said people should feel ashamed if they still choose haram actions despite clear religious teachings.
Many people praised his message. But one user turned the question back at him, asking if his own earnings from acting are halal or haram.
Nauman Ijaz replied directly. He called the comment a “typical mindset” and told the user to be happy and look at their own life first.
Nauman Ijaz has been working in the entertainment industry since 1988. Over almost four decades, he has appeared in many famous dramas, including Dasht, Mera Saeein, Durr-e-Shahwar, Parizaad, and Sang-e-Mah. He received the President’s Pride of Performance Award in 2012 for his work.
