Prominent Islamic scholar Dr. Zakir Naik has found himself at the center of controversy following his recent interaction in public where his response to a young girl’s question sparked criticism on social media.
The scholar, known for his debates and religious lectures, was speaking at a public event when the incident occurred.
During the session, a Pakistani girl raised concerns about sensitive issues such as sexual abuse, drug addiction, and financial exploitation within religious institutions.
Instead of addressing the gravity of the issues mentioned, Dr. Naik’s response was seen as dismissive.
Many have expressed disappointment over the way Dr. Naik handled the situation, arguing that he missed an opportunity to engage constructively on pressing social matters affecting religious establishments.
Social media has since been buzzing with criticism, with people calling for a more sensitive and respectful approach to such inquiries.
