Port Said and asked them not to leave the house. However Kamal
persuaded his mother to visit the shrine of Sayedna al-Hussein, but
she was injured on the way and despite the advice of her children not
to tell their father she told him the truth. He banished her and then
made peace with her again. Latifa [Souraya Fakhry] engaged her two
