Whilst Morocco’s historic World Cup progression has been hailed as an “achievement for the Muslim world” – in the words of former Germany player Mesut Ozil – one player’s wife has come under fire for her “immoral” wardrobe choice.
Achraf Hakimi – whose spouse is Spanish actress Hiba Abouk – has courted controversy after a picture of her on a red carpet has gone viral.
In it, the brunette wears a revealing outfit alongside her soccer star husband.

Hiba wore a two-piece look, baring her cleavage, bare midriff, and lots of legs.
Achraf wore a black velvet suit, showing off his chiselled chest.
But following Morocco’s successful stint in the Fifa World Cup, the picture has re-emerged, and many Muslim fans are not happy.

@im_akshatpal: “Something private should not come out. This looks filthy.”
@Rishisharmait: “Put a Burqa on it.”
@Emptyhead283: “Not only she’s not wearing a burqa or hijab, but also her dress where her boobs are popping out can not be considered Islamic.”
@alm144: “Not wearing hijab is Ok, BUT this outfit is definitely not permitted in Islam. Please don’t encourage this @AchrafHakimi”
Others defended the Morocco star -who was born in Spain – and his wife over their “preferences.”
@tooth_scientist: “Their preference. His mother wears it. They can choose to wear it or not. It’s no one’s business to control wearing it”
