Mahmoud Higazi Responds to Sexual Harassment Allegations on Instagram

In his first official statement following allegations of sexual harassment and assault, artist Mahmoud Higazi made vague comments on his Instagram account, referencing a Quranic verse to express his stance regarding the accusations against him.
Higazi posted in his story:
"And they plan, and Allah plans, and Allah is the best of planners," he added: "The schemes of people, no matter how great, will be confronted by Allah's plan, which nullifies them and transforms them into benefit."
This statement appears to be Higazi's indirect response to the allegations he faces.
Egyptian security authorities arrested Higazi for allegedly sexually harassing and assaulting a woman of foreign nationality, who has Egyptian roots, at a hotel in Cairo.
Investigators are examining the complaint to verify the claims, while Higazi has firmly denied all allegations against him.
In a related incident, Higazi was previously released on bail of 10,000 Egyptian pounds in a case involving his wife, who accused him of assault and mistreatment. Authorities heard her testimony after she officially charged him with hitting and insulting her, resulting in injuries and bruises.
These developments have sparked extensive discussions on social media, as the public closely monitors the investigations in both cases.
