She also experienced a number of health problems in the late 1940s and early 1950s, including vision impairments and a thyroid condition that appeared to have started in the late 1940s (prompting her near-constant use of dark glasses).
In the 1950s, she gave fewer appearances and stopped writing new songs. She wed Hasan al-Hifnawi, one of her doctors, in 1954; despite the fact that they never had children, their relationship appears to have been significant and enjoyable.
As her health began to improve in the 1950s, Umm Kulthum began to seek out new songs from younger composers while still working with al-Sunbati. She was inspired by the success of young vocalists, particularly Abd al-Halim Hafiz.
Who inherited Umm Kulthum’s money and estate?
In a legal battle, she and Ahmad had split up, and he passed away in 1961. On the basis of texts by well-known song lyricists, Baligh Hamdi, Kamal al-Tawil, and Muhammad al-Muji composed songs for her.
As a result, she developed a fresh, contemporary musical aesthetic that has endured in popularity despite not always being appreciated by her older audience.
We firmly feel that given the fact that she is childless, her whole fortune may go to her parents and siblings.
