There is no doubt in the minds of football lovers across the world that Mohamed Salah is a devout Muslim.
He has never shied away from flaunting his religious credentials on the field, going on his knees, his hands held aloft and his face turned skywards and then his forehead touches the ground in thanksgiving.
Liverpool's physician, Reuben Pons, revealed earlier in the week that the Egyptian maestro would not fast in the build-up to the Champions League finals.
Football lovers in Garissa who have lots of admiration for the Liverpool player and consider themselves devout Muslims have bee reacting to the development.
''Islam allows Muslims to break from their fasting in certain circumstances. When they are travelling they are under no obligation to fast. Salah has done nothing wrong,'' Galgalo Sule says.
''''I am very sure that he has a good reason not to fast,'' Osman Abdihakim opines.
''I would rather not pass judgement. Only Allah can judge,'' Salo Mohamed says.
''He has been travelling and needs energy for the game. I support his move,'' Kamar Omar says.
''On the field, he will be doing Allah's work. There is no problem with what he's done,'' Boro Mohamed says.
