Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt, who has recently been embroiled in controversies, has apologized while invoking Allah as a witness to clarify his statement in the courtyard of the Kaaba.

A case was registered against Rajab Butt under the PECA Act, accusing him of hurting religious sentiments.

The latest controversy arose from his new perfume ‘295’, which he introduced in his YouTube vlog. The name of the perfume alluded to Pakistan’s blasphemy law, leading to severe criticism on social media.

Subsequently, Rajab Butt deleted the video and announced a halt in the perfume’s sales.

Rajab Butt is currently in Saudi Arabia performing Umrah, and he has not yet been arrested. After expressing his apology, he recorded a video in a state of Ihram inside the Grand Mosque and shared it on social media.

He began by reciting Darood Pak and then the Kalma, stating that “my wealth, life, parents, children, and every drop of blood is sacrificed for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).”

Rajab Butt said, “Regarding the issues concerning me on social media, I swear at this holy place that I did nothing intentionally.” He added that what happened was due to ignorance, and he apologized again, pleading for people to clear their hearts for him.
