MO SALAH faces a religious dilemma as Liverpool are set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League
final.

Salah is a practising Muslim and the Islamic
festival of Ramadan, which requires fasting
during daylight hours for a month, begins
on May 17 — eight days before the Kiev
showdown.
Devout Muslim Mo Salah must decide if he
should fast during Ramadan

Shawki Allam, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, has
given permission to Salah and his
international team-mates in the Egyptian
squad to postpone their fasting in the days
building up to the World Cup.
But Salah and his fellow Muslims in the
Liverpool dressing room — Sadio Mane and
Emre Can — will have a decision to make ahead of Champions League final: risk their physical
condition by denying themselves food and
drink while training ahead of flying to Kiev,
or fail to observe “sawm” (fasting during
Ramadan), one of the five pillars of Islam, for
the sake of football.

Salah admitted in 2014 he had found
observing Ramadan difficult to combine
with pre-season training at Chelsea.

while fasting



Salah said: “Ramadan was a bit difficult for
me because we had two training sessions
every day, the weather was very hot and I
played in every game.
“I wasn’t even able to drink water until
9.30pm. Although I am used to it, it’s
finished now and I can eat and drink as
normal.

“When you train twice a day, your energy
levels drop by the second session, but it
means a lot to me so I’m very happy and I
feel good.”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp revealed in an
interview with Channel 4 News how Salah,
Mane and Can maintain their faith while
being professional footballers.

Klopp said: “Salah is a Muslim. He’s doing all
the things that Muslims do.
“Before a game, washing procedures and
stuff like that.
“We come a minute or two minutes early in
the dressing room so that he can be ready
for the game. It’s him, Sadio and Emre Can.”

dilemma


Klopp went on to acknowledge what an
important symbol Salah has become in a
world full of conflict and anti-Muslim bigotry
The Liverpool boss added: “It’s fantastic. It’s
exactly what we need in these times.
“To see this wonderful young man, full of
joy, full of love, full of friendship, full of
everything, in a world where we all struggle
to understand all the things happening
around this planet.
“Mo is the perfect ambassador for Egypt, for
the whole Arab world.”
Salah’s high profile will put extra pressure
on his decision about Ramadan.
Entrepreneurs are cashing in on his success
by mass-producing Ramadan lanterns in his
image.

One Saudi Arabian newspaper has reported
that a senior local official is proposing to
give Salah a piece of land in Islam’s most
holy city, Mecca, as reward for being named
PFA Player of the Year.
Fahd al-Rowky said: “There are several
choices regarding giving this piece of land.
“The way to go will be determined by
captain Mohamed Salah as well as the Saudi
system.
“If the Saudi system allows the land to be
owned by Salah, he will be given a piece of
land in holy Mecca outside Haram. The other
option will be to have a mosque built on the
land in his name.”
