The Algerian newspaper "Al-Shorouk" reported that the Algerian star, Riyad Mahrez, paid 10,000 pounds (about 12 thousand dollars) to cover "the costs of a Western tradition."
The captain of the Algerian national team paid this amount to organize a special party for a new birth in his small family, according to what was reported by the Algerian newspaper.
The Man City winger is awaiting the birth of a baby girl in the near future with his wife, British model Taylor Ward.
Western families used to organize a "baby shower" party when the signs of pregnancy appear and the gender of the baby is known.
The newspaper stated that “Mahrez is following in the footsteps of the West, and it is not known whether this player knows the Sunnahs of “Aqeeqah”, “the call to prayer in the ear of the newborn”, “good choice of the wife”, “the good name of the newborn” (male or female), and other things. It is related to Arab and Islamic societies."
