The boy has been arrested and charged with blasphemy after a photo of the Kaaba in Mecca, one of the holiest sites in Islam, appeared on his profile.

A Muslim man told police the image, which was part of an alleged derogatory post against Islam on the boy’s profile, was insulting and sacrilegious.

The black cube-shape is built around an ancient stone at the centre of Islam’s most sacred mosque Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

Locals reportedly claimed the image showed the Kaaba with a pig’s head on top.

Shahbaz Ahmed, a police official, said the informant contacted officers over a post “hurting religious sentiments of Muslims and desecrating the religious place”.

He said the boy “had done a great injustice to us by badly hurting our religious feelings”.

Police did not release details of the contents of the post, other than it included a photo of the Kaaba.

It is unclear if the boy posted the image, was tagged in the post or liked the post.
