Irfan trolled over photo with wife
MUMBAI: India all-rounder Irfan Pathan on Tuesday was criticised by many on Instagram as well as on his Facebook page after he posted a photograph with his wife who can be seen wearing nail polish.
Irfan’s wife Safa Baig — they got married in February 2016 — can be seen wearing a hijab in the photograph. Many posted offensive comments.
THE TROLLS
“Tell her cover her arms. Being a muslim and being a Pathan its your duty to do so,” (sic) wrote a person by the name ‘Jagga Jasos’.
“Hiding face is not Farz…But hiding arms is farz Irfan bhai... She’is hiding her face its good, may Allah bless her… But tell her to hide her arms too...” wrote a certain Kaashif Raza Khan.
Abdullah Qureshy wrote, “Mashaa allah, esi baat nahi h ki islaam aap par laagu hota h, but aapaki chhavi ek sachche musalman ki h so pleaase bhabhi ko parde me rakho.” (Your image is that of a true Muslim, so please keep your wife in veil).
MD Mojibur Rahman Majid wrote, “Bhai nice picture. But please don’t update Wife or any of our Muslim girls pictures. I really highly respect your family coz you got so nice family, your family example for others, I got one humble request to you please don’t update muslimas pictures, our girls are very special . They simply not come out, I love you bhai.” (sic)
While many criticised Irfan and his wife — a Jeddah-born model who was working in Dubai before their marriage — there were many who came out in support of the couple.
