In detail, El Hadidy said that the late artist spent his final days in a hospital in Paris, where his last moments began in a state of calm and serenity. He was keen to perform Fajr prayer from his bed, accompanied by his late daughter Dina’s husband, Mahmoud Mamoun, who stayed by his side that night.

The procession was led by Sheikh Khaled El Guindy, who prayed: “O God, make this night the happiest of his nights,” amid widespread grief among family, friends, and colleagues in the artistic community.
