Irfan Pathan’s wife can be seen wearing nail polish in a picture uploaded by the Indian all-rounder on Facebook, which drew flak from some fans.

Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan, on Tuesday, was criticised by many on Instagram as well as on his Facebook page, after he posted a photograph with his wife who can be seen wearing nail polish.

Even though Irfan’s wife Safa Baig — to whom he got married to in February 2016 — can be seen wearing a burqa in the photograph, her exposed hands and nail polish has enraged many fans who have posted ridiculous comments.

“WTF. Tell her cover her arms. Being a muslim and being a Pathan its your duty to do so,” (sic) wrote a person by the name ‘Jagga Jasos’.

“Hiding face is not Farz…But hiding arms is farz Irfan bhai… She’is hiding her face its good, may Allah bless her… But tell her to hide her arms too…” wrote a certain Kaashif Raza Khan.

A person named Abdullah Qureshy wrote, “Mashaa allah, esi baat nahi h ki islaam aap par laagu hota h, but aapaki chhavi ek sachche musalman ki h so pleaase bhabhi ko parde me rakho.” (Your image is that of a true Muslim, so please keep your wife in veil).
