Popular YouTuber Rajab Butt is once again making headlines — this time for getting a tattoo of his mother’s face on his arm as a "symbol of love", which netizens said was an "un-Islamic practice".

 

Rajab, who is currently living in Dubai, said this was his second tattoo and according to some religious scholars, it was not prohibited.

 

“If anyone thinks it’s not Islamic, they shouldn’t follow me,” he added.

 

His statement, however, didn’t sit well with many people on social media. Users criticised him strongly, saying that tattoos were clearly forbidden in Islam, and promoting it as love for his mother was "misleading".

 

They said while love for one’s mother was a beautiful emotion, expressing it in a way that "goes against religious values" is not appropriate and can confuse others.

 

Meanwhile, in a subsequent vlog, Rajab also revealed the tattoo.

 

It merits a mention that the YouTuber has lately been in the spotlight for his lavish wedding, viral videos, legal controversies, and the launch of his perfume brand ‘295’.

 

Social media users have now advised him to stay away from controversial comments and take a break from the internet for a while.
