While many users praised the woman on this video, most of the Saudi citizens criticized the burqa-clad singer by expressing their disapproval.
Users supporting the woman wrote that the hijab, burqa or veil does not hinder the expression of any ability. You are an artist and can create the magic of your voice even when you are veiled.
On the other hand, a critical user wrote that music and singing are not religiously permissible. If you want to earn a living, take up a profession that makes everyone proud of you.
Describing the singing profession and the burqa as a double standard, users wrote that either follow the full religion or dress up as a singer.
