A professor from Al Azhar, Sunni Islam’s highest seat of learning, was shown in a video saying that a belly dancer can be considered a “martyr,” since she is out to make money for herself.
Saad al-Din al-Hilli...told Al Arabiya that a dancer can be considered a martyr if she took on the street to protest against corruption or oppression, or if she went to do a good deed and she drowned, was shot, or killed...the professor said if the dancer was doing her job and dies accidentally, then she is not a martyr, since dancing in front of men who are strangers is forbidden in Islam.
He described belly dancing as much less severe than gossiping and giving false witness accounts.
Glad he has his priorities straightened out.
I think.
