A Muslim woman has been accused of committing a sin for posting a picture of olive oil because it contained the word ‘virgin’ (extra VIRGIN olive oil).
The woman, whose Twitter profile features the flags of Jordan, fantasyland Palestine and New Zealand, posted the picture on Snapchat and immediately received a reply from one of her followers.
She took a screen shot of the response and posted it to Twitter with the caption, ‘I sent a picture of extra virgin olive oil.. the akhis really wildin’ out’, referring to Muslim brothers as akhis.
The man, who was later identified by the woman, said: ‘You shouldn’t send pictures like that because it contains words like ‘virgin’ and that makes a man think of sins that you may have committed.’
He later tried to backtrack stating his message was only a ‘naseehah’, which is an Arabic word for advice. ‘Dear sister. I was simply giving you sincere advice privately,’ he wrote on Twitter. ‘There is no need to expose these things.’
Online users reacted in disbelief to the story, with many questioning the man’s advice.
Ismail Royer said: ‘Please tell me you’re not serious,’ while another user said: ‘What he said was mad but allow laughing at him about it, doesn’t make us any better.’
