Al-Hafez (Arabic 'the Protector') is a Salafi Islamic channel from Egypt that promotes teaching and recitation of the Quran.
In addition, as a reaction to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, the channel promotes the political orientation of Islamist parties and serves as a platform to attack their opponents.

Badr, a controversial preacher notorious for the coarse language and insults he directs at opponents, had described Shahin on his show as being "promiscuous, naked, and lascivious" and also called her a "prostitute" and "infidel", according to clips shown to the court by the public prosecution.
In December 2012, the Zaweya al-Hamra Court sentenced him to one year in prison and ordered him to pay a LE20,000 fine.
