The source confirmed that the video in question is “old” and dates back to 2017, explaining that the incident occurred on August 12 when a police officer tried to apprehend a street vendor at Manshiyet al-Sadr metro station as she attempted to flee into the women-only carriage after assaulting a police officer. Some female passengers sympathized with her, and legal and administrative actions were taken against both the vendor and the police officer at the time. An official statement was issued at that moment clarifying the facts.

The source added that this highlights the bankruptcy of the Muslim Brotherhood and their habit of recalling old incidents and videos, selectively editing them to deceive public opinion and undermine the country’s stability, which the Egyptian people are aware of.

It is worth mentioning that since the days of the founder Hassan al-Banna, the Muslim Brotherhood has consistently used lies and slander to bring down their opponents. This practice is rooted in the populist nature of their cadres, who form a large faction that gives strength and momentum to their movement. Hassan al-Banna adopted this model from the Sufi paths, being impressed by the blind obedience to the spiritual leader.

Some religious thinkers also argue that lying to the enemy is permissible during wartime, citing a hadith attributed to Umm Kulthum bint Uqba, who said: “I never heard the Messenger of God permit lying except in war.”

Additionally, some of them go as far as saying that lying to non-Muslims, even outside of war, is permissible to achieve religious or worldly interests.
