Yes , Passive voice is used formally in many ways (news , shows or speeches ) and also in dialects but to less degree . أُعلن منذ قليل عن وفاة الكاتب المشهور ( It has been just announced the death of the famous author هل سمعت ما قِيل عن صديقك ؟ ( Have you heard what's said about your friend ? ) تُوفى اليوم رئيسى فى العمل . ( Today , My boss just passed away )

MOHD. Shokry, Thank you very much

yes ... but not common ....It used as academic language كُتِبَ الكتاب في عمان or الكتاب كُتِبَ في عمان they are two ways to write the passive voice sentence in Arabic
