Kanwal Aftab and Zulqarnain Sikandar are embarking on the holy journey of Hajj-e-Baitullah, which is going to be held on 10th Zil Hajj 2026 in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The couple is sharing reels and pictures from their Hajj journey. One of Kanwal Aftab’s full makeup looks from the journey is facing severe public backlash.
In the look, Kanwal Aftab is wearing deep maroon lipstick with dark makeup while dressed in her Hajj attire. The look sparked an online debate, which was defended by Kanwal Aftab.
Kanwal Aftab said, “Many people have issues with my lipstick. I just wanna ask, what does worshipping have to do with my lipstick? Please tell me. And by the way, Hajj starts from 8th of Zil Hajj, so please first go and study it.”
Social media users are criticizing Kanwal Aftab for defending her glamorous look during Hajj. One wrote, “During Ihram, makeup isn’t allowed, and lipstick is included in it.” Another said, “You are not allowed to do makeup during Hajj because it attracts non-mehrams. Your makeup should be for your husband.” Another wrote, “Their Hajj is for social media posts, maybe.” Another wrote, “These people will never have shame and guidance. Their hearts are full of impurities.” One user wrote, “Sister, it’s time to get your sins forgiven by Allah. Don’t do this.”
