The World's Strictest Parents: Series 2 - Lebanon

Teenager Debbie and the mother of the Hajjar family have a major disagreement, when she travels to Lebanon for a week to live with a Sunni Muslim family.

For a week they must live under the strict rules of the Hajjars, a liberal Sunni Muslim family. Dad Abdulsalam is a retired policeman, while mum Iman is a nurse. The Hajjars believe that demanding discipline and instilling respect are the keys to raising a happy family, and have high expectations of the British teens and their decadent approach to life. Strict religious rules around alcohol and modest dress codes make the teens' experience hard to acclimatise to.

Over the week the teens are required to attend mosque and school, and, for Daniel, work in a home for street children. Can the Hajjars' faith-based principles effect any change in the wayward teens?
