Lebanese lawyer converts from Sunni to Shia Islam
Lebanese lawyer Maya Sabbagh, who announced her conversion to the Shia sect despite her Sunni background, affirmed that she considers herself "a Shia at heart" and supportive of the Ahl al-Bayt. She explained that she was influenced after attending the mourning gathering for Imam Hussein. She clarified that she does not reject all Shia rituals; rather, she confines herself to mourning through crying, avoiding traditional practices such as chest-beating, and focuses on the essence of Ashura—rejecting injustice and defending the truth. She also expressed a political stance supportive of Iran and Hezbollah, facing threats and pressure because of her orientation, while reaffirming her commitment to her principles and independence.
