Non-Muslim women and men who wear socks with their sandals can also use the Fipper x The Noor sandals, despite its ‘Muslim-friendly’ claim. — Pictures via Instagram/neelofa and Fipper websiteKUALA LUMPUR, April 7 — Local footwear brand Fipper has explained today that the controversial “Muslim-friendly” claim for its sandal in collaboration with celebrity entrepreneur Neelofa, just means that it can be used by those who wear socks.
“The Fipper x TheNoor slip-ons are suitable for Muslim women who wear socks, since our previous products were less suitable with a ‘muslimah’ image,” the company said in a brief statement on social media.Despite Fipper’s remark, not all Muslim women wear socks, nor are they mandated to do so. However the explanation still drew backlash from commenters who said that it has not absolved them of the religious exploitation accusation.
This comes amid Malaysian social media users recently accusing Neelofa and the company of religious exploitation after she released “Muslim-friendly” slippers with local footwear brand Fipper.
Lmao, two totally different things. Is this the best coverup they have?
