YouTuber Sneako‘s reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest celebration has gone viral. In an uncommon sight, a non-Muslim player has been seen doing the sajda as a goal celebration. Players like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have been regularly seen being grateful to Allah (God) by performing a sajda. However, it was Ronaldo who performed a sajda this time after his latest goal for Al-Nassr.
Sneako, a follower of Andrew Tate also converted to Islam like Tate. He was very happy to see Ronaldo perform the sajda. A sajda or sujud is performed by Muslims during prayers. The act holds great importance in Islam. Ronaldo doing the sajda even made fans question his religion.

In a viral reaction, Sneako is heard saying, “Did Ronaldo convert to Islam? I heard about this but isn’t he in Saudi Arabia and you’re supposed to only live with your wife and he’s not married to his wife. [Sees Ronaldo’s celebration] Yes! That’s what I’m talking about.”
After this, Sneako did the famous ‘Suiii’ celebration of Ronaldo and said, “Join the winning team!”
To answer his initial question, no, Ronaldo has not converted to Islam. He is a Roman Catholic and no official communication has been received about his conversion.
On the other hand, Sneako had a valid query about Ronaldo living with his partner. Let’s find out more about that situation.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are exceptions to a Saudi Arabian rule
After Ronaldo was unveiled by Al-Nassr in early January, queries about how he will live with Georgina Rodriguez without being married were surfacing. Saudi Arabia has strict laws against cohabitation without a marriage contract. However, TalkSport reported that some Saudi lawyers told EFE about the proceedings. They said that authorities will ‘turn a blind eye’ to Ronaldo and Rodriguez living together.

An anonymous lawyer told EFE, “Although the laws of the kingdom still prohibit cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have recently started to turn a blind eye and no longer prosecute anyone.
“Although these laws are used when there is a problem or a crime.”
Another lawyer added: “Nowadays Saudi authorities no longer interfere in this matter – for expatriates – even though the law prohibits cohabitation without marriage.”
It has been five months since Ronaldo made the move to Saudi Pro League. The couple seems to live together without any issues. On the other hand, Rodriguez has been pushing the limits by appearing in a bikini and making fans uncomfortable.
