Hamza Ali Abbasi, widely known for his powerful performances in Pyare Afzal, Mann Mayal, and The Legend of Maula Jatt, is also admired for his deep connection with Islamic teachings.
The actor, who took a break from acting to study Islam, has recently been in the spotlight for his stance on polygamy.
In an old interview that has resurfaced online, Hamza Ali Abbasi explained that Islam permits four marriages under specific circumstances, particularly to provide care and protection to widows and orphans. He further clarified that polygamy is not meant to be exercised merely as a right but rather as a responsibility under special conditions. He also expressed his contentment with his marriage to Naimal Khawar, stating that he is happy with one wife.
This clip has gained traction online, especially in contrast to Danish Taimoor’s recent controversial remarks about having the right to four marriages. Danish’s statement, made during a Ramadan transmission while his wife Ayeza Khan was present, sparked criticism from social media users.
In response, Hamza’s measured and well-explained take has been widely appreciated, with fans calling him a "green flag" for understanding and presenting the true essence of Islamic teachings. Many are praising him for promoting a responsible and ethical interpretation of the subject while also drawing comparisons with Danish Taimoor’s comments.
As social media debates continue, Hamza Ali Abbasi remains one of the most respected voices in the entertainment industry for his balanced and informed views on religion and life.
