Noor slams her neighbours for complaining to DHA about her charity work

Noor Bukhari, a former actress who transitioned from the entertainment industry to a more spiritual path, has recently found herself at the centre of an unexpected dispute.Known for her commitment to religious principles, Noor has been actively involved in charitable work, including providing food to those in need. However, her act of kindness has seemingly upset some of her neighbours.

In an Instagram post, Noor revealed that she had received an official notice from the DHA authorities warning her against distributing food in front of her home. The notice stated:

“It has been noted that food distribution is taking place in front of your residence, causing disturbances to neighboring residents. You are advised to cease this activity immediately. Non-compliance may lead to necessary action in accordance with DHA regulations.”

Clearly disheartened, Noor expressed her disappointment on Instagram, directly addressing those who reported her:

“How wonderful my neighbors are! Does halting food distribution for those in need bring you joy and satisfaction? I can always find another location to distribute, but what have you achieved from this? I have received this notice because they had a problem with feeding the poor.”

Her post quickly gained traction, sparking an online debate. Many rallied to her side, criticising the insensitivity of those who opposed assisting the less fortunate. Supporters praised her efforts and questioned whether minor inconveniences should outweigh the moral duty to help those in need.

However, not everyone agreed with Noor’s stance. Some argued that residential rules exist for a reason and that haqooq-ul-ibaad (the rights of people) should be considered before engaging in such activities.  

“Neighbors’ rights should be prioritized. If it's bothering them, it’s reasonable to move the distribution elsewhere,” one user remarked. Others suggested that instead of distributing food in public spaces, she should collaborate with a welfare organisation to ensure smoother and more organised assistance for the underprivileged.
