Muslim cleric terms Mohd Shami a 'Criminal' for consuming juice during Ramzan
"During a match, mohammed shami, a well-known cricket figure in india, drank water or another beverage. people were observing him. He is in good health if he is playing. He even had water in such a state and did not observe 'Roza'. people get the incorrect impression from this. He's broken the law by not retaining 'Roza'. This is not what he should do. He is a criminal in Shariat's view. According to news agency ANI, he stated, "He will have to answer God."
The Maulana said that 'Roza' (fasting) is considered a compulsory duty and any healthy man or woman not observing 'Roza' will be seen as a "big criminal".
Shami is not the first cricket player from india to data-face criticism at the Champions Trophy. Congress national spokesman Shama Mohammed had called skipper rohit sharma "too fat for a sportsman" and "the most unimpressive captain india ever had" during the match against New Zealand.
"What is so world-class about him when compared to his predecessors like Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni, Kohli, Kapil dev, Shastri & the rest? He is a mediocre captain as well as a mediocre player who got lucky to be the Captain of india," she had said in her now-deleted posts on X.
