Actor Tamer Abdelmonem took to his official Facebook account to criticize statements made by preacher Ayman Abdelgalil, brother of actor Amr Abdelgalil, after Abdelgalil declared that celebrating Mother’s Day is not allowed in Islam.
⚡ Abdelmonem wrote:
"This is how Egyptians fell into religious obsession, and this is the state of mind of those called ‘Sheikh’, how fear controls the weak-minded because they imagine that people like him are God’s representatives on Earth."
🔥 He added:
"Enough nonsense and decline, enough playing with minds.. Mother’s Day!? Mother’s Day, you crazy people!"
📌 When asked by a follower about celebrating Mother’s Day, Abdelgalil said:
"In Islam, we only have two Eid holidays: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. We don’t celebrate Mother’s Day or Brother’s Day; all of that is not part of Islam. Eid is part of worship, so no one can legislate a holiday except God Almighty."
🗣️ The controversy sparked wide social media debate, with audiences divided between supporting the preacher’s strict view and rejecting it, emphasizing that Mother’s Day is about love and appreciation, not a religious innovation.
💬 Abdelmonem’s influence and experience in the entertainment industry ensured his words reached a broad audience, with followers sharing and discussing his post, highlighting the strong public interaction with social and religious controversies.
