An Egyptian Salafi preacher said those celebrating Valentine ’s Day or selling items related to the event are “committing a sin and will burn in hell”.
In an online video posted Wednesday, Ahmad Mahmoud Abdullah, known as “Abu Islam” and owner of the private television channel of “al-Ummah,”referred to February 14 as ‘adultery day’.
“February 14th,we celebrate “adultery” day. The Christian church will surely celebrate this day but I urge all Muslims and those who fear God, not to use anything tinted in red. Even al-Ahli team will not wear its red jersey” he said referring to the Egyptian national football team.
Abu Islam added that women going out to celebrate this day are considered ‘adultery and prostitution’.
