Actor Ilham Shahin sparked controversy when she spoke about a director who would stop filming to pray, causing writer Madhat al-Adl to respond to her comments. Al-Adl called the situation "simple and easy" and said the director would only take five minutes to pray, and that the issue was being blown out of proportion. He also criticized creating controversies for the sake of social media and urged people to let others pray if they want to. Shahin had previously spoken about working with a director who would stop filming suddenly to pray and take all the workers with him.
