Egyptian folk singer Shabaan Abd Al Rahim has admitted that his recent health deterioration was due to his excess smoking of weed. At the same time, Shabaan stated that he makes it a point to fast the holy month of Ramadan and prays each prayer at its specific time. The singer added that sometimes he prays the Morning Prayer at the mosque after returning from the club where he performs.
Shabaan stressed that after recovering from his recent illness he has quit smoking weed and regular cigarettes completely and has no intention of ever returning to it especially due to the fact that he is not young anymore and has to watch his health.
Shabaan said that while he was ill he did not fear death since it is the destiny of everyone. He added that while he was in hospital, most of his friends from the entertainment world had called and wished him a speedy recovery.
