She said that she respects the hijab and the women who wear it, but she also respects her personal freedom and choice. She added that she did not regret her previous experience with the hijab, but she felt that it was not suitable for her anymore.
She also thanked her fans for their support and love, and asked them to respect her decision and not to judge her.
The video sparked a lot of reactions on social media, with some users praising Hijazi for her courage and honesty, and others criticizing her for abandoning her religious commitment and succumbing to worldly temptations.
