Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has stirred controversy among some of his Muslim followers after sharing a festive family picture on social media. The post, featuring Salah, his wife Magi, and their daughters Makka and Kayan posing in front of a Christmas tree in matching pyjamas, was captioned “#MerryChristmas.”
While many fans appreciated the gesture, others expressed disappointment. One Instagram user commented, “You let me down, bro.” Another wrote, “At this point, I’m just disappointed in you, bro.” A more critical follower added, “We Muslim people look up to you, and you do this in return.”
This is not the first time Salah has shared similar posts during the holiday season. However, the backlash highlights ongoing debates within the Muslim community about cultural and religious practices.
Despite the criticism, Salah has maintained a tradition of celebrating Christmas with his family, showcasing a more inclusive perspective that resonates with many of his global fans.
