The Love is Blind Habibi Reunion featured Karma confronting Ammar over his views on her dancing career. During the November 1 episode, Karma questioned Ammar's shirtless appearance on camera while opposing her professional dancing.

The conflict emerged from their previous relationship breakdown in episode six, where Ammar had made dancing a deal-breaker for marriage. Their heated exchange drew strong reactions from fellow cast members Nour and Hajar, who supported Karma's stance. One X user wrote:

"I have so much to say about the Love is Blind Habibi reunion but I'll just summarize: Nour, Karma and Hajar have my absolute respect for sticking up for each other as well as their own values. Everyone else is TRASH."

The pair, who initially connected in the pods over their shared love of music, parted ways after Ammar stated he wouldn't attend any of Karma's dance performances.

During their face-to-face meeting, Karma challenged Ammar's position with a direct question:

"Do the beliefs you hold apply to everyone in your view? Or do they apply only to you and not to us? For example you appeared topless in front of the camera and looked amazing. Is this acceptable for you and not for a girl to dance?"

Ammar answered by stating he wasn't against dancing but emphasized marriage required sacrifices. He maintained his stance throughout the discussion, leading to further disagreements. Many fans expressed strong support for Karma's questioning, with one Love is Blind Habibi fan tweeting,

"Karma, the woman that you are..!!!!! This was one of my favourite scenes from #LoveIsBlindHabibi…It was wonderful to watch a woman refuse to sacrifice her peace of mind and spirit for the 'love' of an overbearing man."

Same user’s follow-up tweet read,

"Karma understands that settling for less than you deserve in life brings misery and unhappiness…She knows that the best she can do isn't a man who doesn't know her worth."

Ammar expanded his argument by connecting it to broader social norms. When Karma pressed further about these cultural interpretations, Ammar firmly stated, "It's completely unacceptable to me." He suggested they could have discussed the matter more before ending the relationship.

The discussion intensified when Karma challenged his generalization of Arab society's views on dancing. She pointed out that even siblings from the same household could have different perspectives on life. Karma explained her father and brother raised her to value self-expression.

An X user commented:

"It's not that Ammar isn't allowed to hold that opinion or wish for a partner that doesn't do dancing, but he expected Karma to obey him and his orders AND continue the relationship."

Ammar framed his position as "protection" and "leadership" when the host mentioned viewers calling him controlling. He argued that women would view men as weak without such leadership. This sparked immediate reactions from cast members Nour and Hajar, who exchanged knowing glances during his explanation.

Commenting on the incident, X user wrote,

"I don't like that Ammar and most of the cast are belittling Karma's choice to leave him because he tried to restrict her dancing. I don't think they understand that she is rejecting being controlled and I love that for her!"

In an attempt to resolve conflict, Ammar suggested Karma should have said "Okay, darling" to his requests and discussed the matter further instead of ending things abruptly.

He maintained that continued dialogue could have resolved their differences. Karma countered by explaining that since neither party showed willingness to compromise, ending the relationship was the "wise and intelligent" choice.

Many Love is Blind Habibi supported this reasoning. A fan wrote:

"I hate that the men are trying to guilt trip Karma for breaking up with Ammar‼️ She's correct that since neither one of them was willing to compromise or change, it was better to part ways."

Karma addressed Ammar's previous comment about her future partner "not being man enough." She explained how this perspective conflicted with her upbringing and values. In response, Ammar reinforced his position, stating,

"I can't accept my wife dancing. This is completely unacceptable to me."

Another Love is Blind Habibi fan praised Karma for her stance, posting,

"Karma stood on business and I love that! She gave that man countless amounts of opportunities to compromise and get out of his own way #LoveIsBlindHabibi."

The reunion concluded with both parties maintaining their original positions, highlighting the fundamental differences that led to their separation in episode six of Love is Blind Habibi. The full reunion episode, along with all episodes of Love is Blind Habibi, remains available on Netflix.
