The text of the declaration reads as follows: “It is customary for each profession to have a strict and clear law which regulates it with specific provisions and articles, but we know that each profession has an additional human honor pact. rigid articles of law. , because the code of honor amounts to the shadow of the law, and the code of media honor obliges media professionals to respect their guests and respect their desire to be informed as they wish, especially if these guests are famous and private company. “

Rania added: “In fact, I had made the decision to limit or temporarily refrain from press or television interviews, especially those that depend on the posting of the video recording via social media, seeking more views, such as the “trending” culture which often requires cutting and modifying the content of the speech. And showing compiled excerpts from the “Promo” dialogue gives false meaning and distorts the truth of what has been said all over the place. long dialogue, but after the insistence of an Iraqi broadcaster – with all my love and gratitude from the dear Iraqi people and the Iraqi public.

Rania continued, “This broadcaster has sent many urgent messages that my meeting with his channel on New Years Eve will be a big victory for him in his line of work, and that the channel does not have the budget to charge him. the sums that public figures and artists receive, and after constant insistence, I agreed to hold the meeting without any. “In return for my money and the appreciation of the large Iraqi public, but during the dialogue, j I was surprised by some questions that we might call “thick questions.”

Rania continued with her statement, “My use of the noble Quranic verse was not.” As for the grace of your Lord, it happened “This has nothing to do with the context of the answer on the beauty of the artists or their clothes I said the text after my martyrdom of this verse in the section next 3.17 to 3.22, I didn’t mean in the body, I mean in life, when you still have a sweet need, show it to people, “I mean in life in general, not the body.”

And she added: “As to the third point that aroused the feelings of those who heard the fragmentary dialogue from its context, my response was to a question about ‘the veil’, so I personally said I don’t think so. that I will wear the hijab, and this is a purely personal matter that has nothing to do with issuing fatwas in religion to others, and quoting what we were. let’s all see, from old photos and celebrations from the 1960s, that it was rare to see a woman wearing a headscarf, and yet Egyptian society was conservative and open without looking at any shape or garment, and this opinion remains. a personal opinion that has nothing to do with the origin of religion, so to say this opinion or any other is not an invitation. It does not take anything with it towards those who wear the hijab or those who have decided not to wear it. What has been said remains in the space of purely nobody’s opinion lle. “

Egyptian artist with the aim of deliberate distortion, and from there I call on all professional media professionals to unite to protect the prestige of speech. This is the only bridge for the artist to reach the consciousness of his fans. “
