With regards to allegations that she insulted the Islamic
Supreme Council Al Azhar in her television drama “Nouna Al Ma’thounah” (Nouna
the Clerk), the actress denied all accusations and stressed that she did not
intend to insult the holy sanctity of the Al Azhar by wearing their official
dress in the drama.

Hanan stated that members of Al Azhar considered Hanan
wearing their official dress an insult for her being a woman and acting in a comedy
drama. The actress stressed that she wore the official dress of Al Azhar
because the role she was playing was of a clerk that called for such attire. Hanan
revealed that before airing the drama a number of scenes were omitted due to
opposition received from Al Azhar and she and the makers of the drama respected
their wishes and made all necessary changes to the drama.
