Some were also curious as to what qualities that the slippers have to deem it as “Muslim-friendly” and others even suggested a cheaper alternative to their slippers.Untung cantik. Jual selipar Muslim friendly RM80 pun apa ada hal.— ?????? (@haisyx) April 6, 2021
Neelofa has kept mum on the matter so far, but Fipper recently released a statement apologising for the confusion and said that Fipper X The Noor is suitable for Muslim women who wear socks and want to wear slippers at the same time.
“Some of our previous products were unsuitable for Muslim women who wear socks,” the company said.
Well, at this rate, we wonder what’s next for Neelofa.
