Drama is a medium; and like any other medium it can be used for a good purpose: to promote virtue and prevent vices; alternatively, as many people do, it can be used for promoting vices and corruption in society.

 

So, if a Muslim woman acts in a drama and her role is clean and free of all forms of obscenity, nudity, etc., and conforms to the ethical guidelines of Islam in regard to male and female interaction, etc., then there is nothing wrong about it; rather she may be rewarded for it.

 

We should know that women during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were active participants in society; they gave lectures, taught people, recited poems, participated in battles, etc.

 

Therefore, let us not rush to condemn those who are using the media for projecting positive and ethical messages or promoting virtue and beauty of Islam.

 

Islam encourages everyone to be creative by developing their divinely endowed talents and excel in doing so.
