A woman has taken to social media highlighting how her elderly mother who wears the niqab was urinated on by three men in East London.
Fatiha El-Ghorri shared the post on social media after her mother, who walks with a crutch, endured the horrifying ordeal.
Fatiha, a comedian, wrote, "This is me and my mum.
One day she was walking to our local shop (central East London) when three men URINATED on her.
"She walks with a crutch. She froze.
"She came home, thankful that they only urinated on her.
"She said to me ‘Fatiha, the urine can be washed out so please do not worry’ as we hugged each other and cried."
Me & mum

Really sorry to hear that. I've been in hospital with my mum all day as she hasn't been too well. Hold your mums close. Hope she's ok. Sad to hear that some filthy people think this kind of behaviour is acceptable. Sending you positivity x

I am SO sorry this happened to your mother.

May Allah bless her & keep her from harm.
All I can say is that I think I would have used that crutch to do them permanant damage. Hope your mum was not too emotionally scarred. Please make sure she realises they were scum, and not the sort of people decent British people (or anyone) would consider represent our society.

Be patient for u and ur mom. Remember Allah is watching, so we have to believe it was a test to increasing our iman
My stomach just churned reading this. I am so so sorry your mum and your family have had to deal with this. I cannot repeat what I think of these animals.
