Ghada Ibrahim’s View on Polygamy:
In an interview on “Wara El Shams” with Yasmin El Khatib, Ghada Ibrahim stated she could consider being a second or third wife if conditions are fair and just.
She explained that her father, married to three women at the same time, was extremely fair and organized in dividing time and attention among them. He was also generous, kind, performed annual pilgrimage, and spoke four languages, making her upbringing a positive model of polygamy.

💫 Justice and Respect are Essential:
Ghada emphasized that the first wife’s full consent is crucial, and any relationship built on coercion or injustice is destined to fail.

🌟 Hijab and Inner Struggle:
Ghada Ibrahim also addressed her religious life, stating that hijab is obligatory in Islam, but she has not worn it yet. She may do so in the future according to God’s will, and she considers adjusting her acting roles to align with her faith.

🎤 Stance on Controversial Religious Issues:
She noted that religious texts indicate cigarettes and alcohol are not among the major sins, while she remains committed to prayer and religious teachings. She has never smoked but may be affected by passive smoking in enclosed spaces.

🔥 Personal Struggle and Continuous Growth:
She concluded: “Sometimes the devil overcomes me, and sometimes I overcome him,” highlighting that life is a continuous journey to balance personal, professional, and religious aspects while striving to improve oneself.
