Summary

In the video titled "Unexpected Clash at Masjid NABWI – What Really Happened?", Haseeb Shafqat discusses a controversial incident involving a woman and a security guard at a sacred site during Ramadan. The incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows the woman attempting to bypass a closed road by removing a barrier. When confronted by the security guard, she slaps him, prompting him to retaliate by slapping her twice, which results in her hijab coming off. The woman was subsequently arrested.
