'Painting is a major sin in Islam': Moeen Ali slammed for drawing Sir Vivian Richards's portrait
England's all rounder Moeen Ali was slammed for drawing veteran cricketer Sir Vivian Richards's portrait that was shared by him on micro blogging site Twitter.
The well-known Muslim British player has shared his Richards's painting on Twitter and wrote, “Please do support @CricketUnited and bid on my drawing of Sir Viv to support @PCA @Chance2Shine @LordsTaverners.”
But it seems that some people are not interested in supporting his painting as people on Twitter fumed in anger.

There is a section of society that thinks that drawing painting in Islam is a 'major sin'.
This is a major sin! Those drawing this are the most severely punished on the Day of Judgement. https://t.co/tfyVXU31Pr

As far as Moeen's performance is concerned, the 30-year-old player has been instrumental with his bat as well as ball.
Recently, Moeen got a hat-trick against South Africa, helping England notch up a 239-run victory against South Africa at the Kennington Oval, in London, on Monday.
