"Farm lady sells livestock to watch Turkish soap
By Ali Fahhoul
NAJRAN – Smitten by the hugely popular Turkish soap operas, a Saudi farm lady sold the entire herd of her livestock to avoid distractions while the shows were on.
The old lady said she could not watch the TV series with concentration because in between she had to milk the sheep and attend to them. So she decided to sell the livestock.
The mania for “Noor” and “Sanawat Ad-Daya’a” gripped the Saudi homes so much so that Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Aal Al-Sheikh termed them as “evil” and “un-Islamic.”"
