Video of Pakistani man reciting Azaan while paragliding with woman sparks controversy

A video featuring a Pakistani man reciting the Azaan while paragliding with a woman has sparked controversy on social media.

The clip shows a bearded man, harnessing a parachute with a female paraglider, reciting the Islamic call to prayer.

The video's location remains unconfirmed, but its circulation on social media has ignited heated debates.

Social media users, in the comments section, argue that the act is inappropriate, citing concerns about reciting the sacred prayer in a recreational setting and in close proximity to a na-mehram, women that men are permitted to marry.

Many view this as a breach of Islamic etiquette and modesty.

Others question the wisdom of combining a sacred religious practice with an adventure sport, labelling it a "publicity stunt" rather than a genuine display of faith.
