'Rihanna\'s Use of Islamic Hadith at Fenty Runway Fashion Show Angers Muslims. rihanna is catching flak online this morning for using an Islamic Hadith in a runway clip for her fashion brand Fenty. The 32-year-old Bajan singer—full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty—has not been releasing music in recent years, instead, focusing on her Fenty makeup line and her lingerie brand Savage X Fenty. Although the \"Umbrella\" singer has been highly praised for prioritizing inclusivity in her companies, she is now under fire for using sacred Muslim sayings in her show, which debuted on Amazon Prime on October 2. Hadiths are highly revered records of the traditions or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and are sacred to Muslims. Rihanna has come under fierce criticism after lingerie models at her latest fashion show danced to a song which appeared to remix an Islamic hadith. On Friday, the Barbadian singer launched Savage X Fenty Volume 2, the second edition of her lingerie line, accompanied by a pre-recorded fashion show which aired on Amazon Prime. Social media users noticed that in one segment of the show, models danced to a song called “Doom” by London-based producer Coucou Chloe. The song samples a narration of a hadith - a saying by the Prophet Muhammad which Muslims use as guidance.The hadith in question appears to have remixed a recitation by Kuwaiti preacher Mishary bin Rashid Alafasy. Muslims and non-Muslims alike took to social media to criticise Rihanna, accusing her of disrespecting Islam by using the sacred text in a sexualised context.Some have noted that Rihanna has used \"Doom\", which appears to draw on the theme of judgement day in the hadith segment, in another fashion show three years ago.hloe\'s most recent Instagram post - ironically captioned \"stress zero\" - has hundreds of users criticising her track on it. Her Instagram has since limited interactions, while both her Facebook and Twitter accounts were deactivated. On Monday, she reactivated her Twitter and posted an apology. \"I want to deeply apologise for the offence caused by the vocal samples used in my song \'Doom\'. The song was created using samples from Baile Funk tracks I found online. At the time, I was not aware that these samples used text from an Islamic Hadith,\" Chloe wrote. \"I take full responsibility for the fact I did not research these words properly and want to thank those of you who have taken the time to explain this to me. We have been in the process of having the song urgently removed from all streaming platforms.\" Rihanna has often been praised for her championing of diversity and inclusivity. The Savage X Fenty launch last week was commended for including models of different races and sizes - something lingerie brands such as Victoria\'s Secret have been criticised for not doing in the past. Rihanna’s line earned particular plaudits this year for including plus-sized male models. The Fenty show featured a Hadith sped up and mixed with dance music which was played as models walked and performed on the runway. rihanna, Rihanna's Use of Islamic Hadith at lingerie brand Savage X Fenty, Angers Muslims, Savage X Fenty, lingerie, brand, Islamic The song is called \"Doom\" and was created by London producer named Coucou Chloe. It uses vocal samples from verses of the Hadith mixed into the beat. The topic of the Hadith is reportedly about judgment day and the end of times. The discourse around the use of the Hadith in this way is taking place on Twitter where many from the Muslim community are expressing their outrage. \"i think the person who created the song knew what they were doing,\" one person tweeted. \"that is a very specific hadith. U have to go looking to find it. It\'s not something non-muslims know unless they research. So the fact that the song is called Doom & the hadith is about the end of times?'
