After marriage to fellow actor Hassan Youssef in 1972, the couple started to work in cooperation until al-Baroudi decided after Umrah in 1982 to quit cinema and wear the hijab.[http://www.elcinema.com/person/pr1095127/ شمس البارودى] At that time Youssef was still filming Two on the Road (اثنين على الطريق) and after al-Baroudi's unexpected retirement, the film could only be completed and released by 1984.[http://www.elcinema.com/work/wk1008525/ اثنين على الطريق]
After retirement
In 2001, Nourah Abdul Aziz Al-Khereiji of the Arab News interviewed al-Baroudi in the 2001 Al-Madinah Festival. Al-Baroudi described her acting era as "the time of ignorance," the name Muslims use to refer to the pre-Islamic era.Al-Khereiji, Nourah Abdul Aziz.

As of 2004, she was wearing a niqab and her sole television appearances were on religious satellite channels. By 2008, she stopped wearing the niqab and only wore the veil.Rizq, Hamdi (حمدى رزق).

Lisa Anderson used al-Baroudi as an example of an increase in social conservatism in Egyptian society.
