Refuses to distribute shields among girls

Islamabad: Globally acclaimed Islamic scholar Dr Zakir Naik walked away from the stage during an event in the federal capital.
He was invited as the chief guest at an event hosted by Pakistan Sweet Home, an institution for orphans. During the event, he spoke and answered questions from the audience.
However, at the end of the programme, when Sweet Home Chairman Zamurrad Khan called girls on stage to present shields to them, Dr Naik stepped down from the stage.
He argued that these girls were na-mahram to him, and he could not present the shields to them. This moment was captured in a video that went viral on social media.
Dr Naik then proceeded to present the shields to the boys from the stage. He later told Zamurrad Khan that he should not physically touch the girls, as they are non-mahram.
