Pakistan recently witnessed one of the most lavish weddings that featured extravagant decor and foreign dancers, and was attended by several public figures. Among other celebrities, Maulana Tariq Jameel was also present at the wedding where he made a special dua to bless the couple.
It was reported that Maulana Tariq Jameel got a million rupees as a gift from the hosts. Social media users, including his fans, criticized the cleric for attending an event where so much was against what he preaches, as photos and videos of the function did not only reflect extravagant expenditure, but also showed participation of dancers and singers.
Our dilemma is that we are stranded between QTV and MTV.
BTW, a recent big fat wedding had Maulana Tariq Jameel and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan as guests.

Lahori weddings can be super weird— Ali Butt (@AliButtsays) November 8, 2020
I can't believe a wedding with Russian Dancers happened which also featured a speech from Maulana Tariq Jameel and macarons in a soup spoon, all in the middle of a pandemic. https://t.co/HdNQB2JUI9

Netizens called it “hypocritical” on the cleric’s part to preach simplicity and modesty while endorsing an extraordinarily lavish wedding that even received a notice from the FBR.
