Since when do Wahhabis allow women to work as clerics?

Via Al-Masry Al-Youm:

A prominent Saudi Muslim preacher has demanded Emirati star Ahlam, one of the Gulf’s most popular singers, retire from singing to become a Muslim cleric ahead of Ramadan.

“Let Ramadan come to find Ahlam, the preacher, not the singer,” Saudi preacher Mohamed al-Eraify posted on his personal Twitter account.

“You are a believer who loves God. I will pray for you,” Eraify added.

Ahlam al-Shamsy is one of the Middle East’s wealthiest entertainers according to Arabian Business magazine. The publication recently published a report claiming Shamsy is the highest-earning Arab singer in the region.

Like many Salafi preachers, Eraify has very strict views on the performing arts, which they consider forbidden in Islam.
