Twitter users from Nigeria who are Muslims have voiced their criticism towards a young man who posted pictures of himself with his Christian girlfriend.
Originally from Kaduna State, Dankaka shared the photos with the caption: “Her View, My View”.
However, the tweet received negative reactions from his fellow Muslims. Ismail Yushau stated that in Islam, it is forbidden for an adult to hold the hands of a woman who is not his wife.
“In Islam doctrine it is prohibited for an adult to hold a lady’s hands like this. Right your wrong.” he wrote.
Mrs Baffa cited Ma’qil ibn Yasar who reported a saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “For a nail of iron to be driven in the head of one of you would be better for him than touch a woman who is not lawful for him”
Meanwhile, when asked if he would convert his girlfriend to Islam, Dankaka replied, “Insha Allah”.
