How daring! Sharifah Amani Syed Zainal Rashid goes bald for her latest film 'Muallaf' under Yasmin Yusuff. This will be Yasmin's fourth film after 'Sepet', 'Gumbra', and 'Mukhsin'. In the new film, Sharifah Amani plays Rohani, a runaway youngster who befriended by a schoolteacher named Brian. Yasmin the director said that the bald Sharifah Amani 'looks beautiful'. But some Muslim scholars were not amused. Mufti of Selangor and Mufti of Perak already voiced their concern. They adviced Muslim actress against sacrificing Islammic teaching or Islamic principles or Islamic values just for the sake of acting. It is 'haram' for Muslim females to emulate Muslim males. Going bald is emulating the nature or characteristic of a male.

Selangor Mufti Datuk Mohd Tamyis Abdul Majid explained that unlike Muslim men, going bald for (Muslim) women is forbidden in Islam. It is also sinful for men to act or behave like a woman and vice-versa. Muslim artistes should not degrade themselves and the religion for the sake of getting popular. Perak Mufti Datuk Seri Harussani Idris cautioned Muslim artistes not to be influenced by their foreign counterparts. As Muslims, we should not sacrifice our religion for the sake of wanting to be popular.

But Sharifah Amani already said in local newspaper that she 'did not regret it.'
