The world doesn't seem keen on giving Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah a break - from intentional acts of violence to judgments on the player's personal choices...

On Sunday, one Kuwaiti cleric said that Salah's injury during the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev was a "punishment from God for breaking his Ramadan fast early."

In a series of tweets shared on May 27, Mubarak al-Bathali explains that Salah is being punished by God for breaking his fast for a football game and not for travel purposes, which is not a "legitimate reason" in his opinion.

"He broke his fast intentionally"

مسألة إفطار محمد صلاح انه كان صائما ثم افطر لأجل لعب الكرة وليس لأجل السفر ..
فالأمر هي نية الإفطار ..

"The fact that Mo Salah broke his fast for the sake of playing football and not for travel purposes. Thus, he broke his fast intentionally."

"Life is in the hands of God"

اللاعب محمد صلاح قرر اللعب مفطرا لأجل ليفربول كما صرح بذلك فعاقبه الله ..
لا يظن ظان وخاصة المسلم ان الحياة تدار بالعقل والجهد بل الحياة بيد الله يأتيها من يشاء سواء اجتهد او لم يجتهد ..
هداك الله يا محمد صلاح ولعل الأمر فيها خيرا لك في كل نواحي الحياة..

"The footballer Mohamed Salah decided to play for Liverpool without fasting, God punished him. No reasonable man, especially not a Muslim, believes life is managed by reason and effort. Life is in the hands of God. May God guide you, Mohamed  Salah, and perhaps the injury is good for you."

Backlash followed

That’s your own opinion “Kuwaiti preacher” God is not wicked, Mo Salah can repay his fasting after Ramadan.

"The preacher does not understand"

In Islam the traveler has the right to break the fast. And Salah was a traveler. This "preacher" does not understand, and looks for fame ..
