Zari Hassan and Shakib Cham are currently in Saudi Arabia, undertaking a spiritual journey. Zari shared videos on her Snapchat account, revealing that she flew Emirates Business class to Dubai, with the caption Umrah2024.
Umrah is a mini-pilgrimage performed by Muslims. Its main purpose is to cleanse the soul of past sins, and it can be undertaken more than once in a lifetime. Umrah is viewed as a means of seeking protection from poverty and life’s burdens, as pilgrims spend their wealth and time in the way of Allah.
Zari also showcased moments from her flight on her TikTok account, suggesting that she personally funded her trip to Dubai. In one post, she addressed critics, stating, “Them: That man won’t take you anywhere. Me: flying to Dubai to meet him because I can sponsor myself. This is how I loooolllll #fyp #dubai.”
On her Snapchat, Zari and Shakib were seen hugging and sharing a kiss, and they explored the holy city, providing glimpses of its beauty. This journey appears to be a significant step for the couple, especially after they recently faced controversy due to Zari’s interactions with her ex-partner, Diamond.
Their co-parenting relationship stirred up discussions online, with some criticizing Zari for her perceived inappropriate actions while being married to Shakib. The couple unfollowed each other and deleted their pictures from social media amid the controversy, with Shakib expressing displeasure over what he considered disrespect, while Zari defended her actions.
