Renowned Islamic scholar Dr. Zakir Naik left the stage during an event in Islamabad hosted by Pakistan Sweet Home, an organization for orphans, where he was the chief guest.
During the program, Dr. Naik delivered a speech and answered audience questions.
However, when Sweet Home Chairman Zamurrad Khan invited girls on stage to present shields at the end of the event, Dr. Naik stepped down, explaining that the girls were non-mahram to him, and he could not present the shields directly.
This moment, captured in a viral video, shows Dr. Naik later presenting shields to the boys instead. He also advised Khan against physically touching the girls, as they are non-mahram.
Dr. Naik arrived in Islamabad on September 30 for a brief visit before heading to Karachi for more events and public addresses.

By doing this Dr. Zakir Naik has set an example to others to follow. It is seen that the girls are in Hijab only but their faces were open, but still he refused to present shields to the non mehram girls. Some people may think it is not a big deal but Islam is very strict in matters of Hijab and he is only practicing that, which we should not only appreciate but also follow in all our functions. The girls should also be cautious in such matters to safeguard from fitnah. The organisers of such functions will no doubt take a lesson from this and be cautious in future. Jazakallah.
Zakir naik has become a nuisance nowadays that he is jeopardizing all what islam stands for. There are multitudes of other Da’ees who are not creating scenes like him in public.
He must stop all this overreaction immediately.
