Internet users have unleashed their fury upon Moroccan soccer player Nouhaila Benzina, labeling her a "hypocrite" for her recent handshake with FIFA president Gianni Infantino. In the Islamic religion, shaking hands with a non-mahram woman (someone unrelated) is a big no-no, especially if she is wearing a hijab. It seems that Nouhaila, who hails from Morocco, where Islam is the predominant religion, should have known better.

But that's not all! Not only is there a controversy surrounding her participation in soccer, which is considered Haram (forbidden) in Islam, but internet users are also scratching their heads over the contradiction between her modest attire and her actions on the field. Why cover your head and legs if you're just going to expose yourself to the male audience, both in the stadium and on television? And to add insult to injury, she not only shook hands with the FIFA president but also engaged in a lengthy and enthusiastic handshake, even using both hands!

Curiously, Nouhaila has remained silent amidst the controversy and backlash. We eagerly await her explanation for why shaking hands with any man is Haram, except, of course, when it comes to the president of FIFA. Ah, the Moroccan drama continues...
