Famous YouTuber Rajab Butt is going through a difficult time. Recently, he faced accusations of hurting religious sentiments by launching a perfume named “295.” Following the controversy, he traveled to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. However, even this journey did not escape criticism.
Rajab Butt and his family were seen sitting in wheelchairs while performing Sa’i (the ritual walk between Safa and Marwah). Since he and his family members appeared young and healthy, social media users started questioning whether they really needed wheelchairs.
People made critical comments on Rajab Butt’s Umrah post. One user wrote, “Are they all disabled?” while another questioned, “Why are healthy and young people using wheelchairs? Isn’t this a misuse of the facility?”
Another comment said, “If you can walk, why are you sitting in a wheelchair? This makes things difficult for other pilgrims.”
Some users also criticized by saying, “They travel the world without any problem, but when it comes to religious rituals, they need a wheelchair?”
It is important to note that Saudi authorities provide wheelchairs for elderly and disabled individuals during Umrah and Hajj. However, the use of this facility by healthy individuals is considered ethically questionable. Rajab Butt and his family’s decision has upset many people, who believe it was an attempt to take unfair advantage of the service.
Rajab Butt is already facing legal issues due to the “295” perfume controversy, and now, the criticism over his wheelchair use has added to his troubles. Some people are calling it “a drama,” while others are questioning whether he genuinely needed this facility.
Although using additional facilities to reduce exhaustion during Umrah is not a crime, the use of wheelchairs by healthy individuals raises ethical concerns in society. Did Rajab Butt and his family genuinely need this facility, or was it simply a way to have a “comfortable” Umrah experience?
For now, this debate continues among internet users.
