The Lebanese singer, Nancy Ajram, stopped singing at the concert she gave recently, at the conclusion of the Middle Beast Festival, in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and her descent from the stage after she performed only two songs, a state of controversy.
Nancy said that she left the concert stage after presenting two songs, out of respect for the evening call to prayer, according to Saudi timing, which earned her the respect of the Saudi and Arab audience.
The incident brought to mind the controversy caused by the Egyptian artist Hamada Helal 3 years ago, when he did not stop singing at a party at Mansoura University.
The pioneers of the communication sites re-circulated a video that they indicated that it was recorded during a ceremony held by the artist Hamada Helal at Mansoura University, and it was noted that he did not stop singing during the call to prayer in Morocco.
At the time, the artist Hamada Hilal was subjected to a wide campaign of sharp criticism, as followers accused him of insulting the call to prayer, and considered his behavior an inappropriate act and a violation of the principles.
