Selena Gomez recently visited a mosque in Abu Dhabi where she apparently showed way too much of her ankles, due to which the mosque leaders have blasted for her 'disrespectful' poses.

The 22-year-old, who has now deleted the image baring her ankle, had shared the snaps along with pals Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Cody Simpson, and Shay Mitchell, which were taken inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque on image sharing website Instagram, TMZ.com reported.



The religious leaders there have following issues with the pictures: first that Selena was exposing her leg and that the mosque rules prohibit anyone laughing and smiling, and is considered disrespectful.



Last year, Rihanna had also visited the same mosque, but was immediately asked to leave after she posted snaps where she was laughing.
