Dr. Zakir Naik, a well-known Muslim scholar, makes headlines during his visit to Pakistan. The Pakistani government invites him as a state guest and arranges several events in his honor. However, he stirs up controversy with his recent comments about working women.
In an interview on Fareeha Idrees’s show, Dr. Zakir Naik claims that, according to the Quran, men should remain calm when they see women. He adds that if a man does not feel any physical or emotional excitement after seeing a woman, he should seek medical help because it is not natural. Many social media users in Pakistan react strongly to his remarks, expressing disappointment and anger. They call for him to leave the country and share teachings from the Quran about how men should behave around women.
