Karachi, Pakistan – Web Desk: Veteran Pakistani actor Nauman Ijaz has responded candidly to criticism regarding earnings from the entertainment industry, saying individuals should focus on evaluating their own actions rather than judging others.
Known for his outspoken views on social and cultural issues, Nauman Ijaz shared a message from a friend during a recent YouTube discussion in which he reflected on the concepts of halal and haram income.
The actor said that while human beings are naturally able to recognize many things through their senses, distinguishing between right and wrong ultimately depends on personal conscience, awareness, and individual choices.
He questioned why people knowingly engage in unethical practices despite understanding the difference between lawful and unlawful actions, arguing that the real issue lies in personal decisions rather than a lack of awareness.
The debate gained attention after a social media user asked Nauman Ijaz whether income earned through the showbiz industry should be considered halal or haram.
Responding briefly but firmly, the actor said the question reflected a particular mindset and advised the user to focus on self-accountability. He added that people should sometimes examine their own actions instead of constantly scrutinizing others.
His remarks quickly sparked renewed discussion on social media, with users debating the relationship between art, entertainment, religion, and professional ethics.
While many users supported his stance, arguing that professions should not be judged through broad generalizations, others reignited discussions surrounding religious perspectives on the entertainment industry.
