Sohwa Halilintar responded to the viral term 'Haji Thariq' that sparked criticism towards his mother. Through her social media account, Sohwa explained that her parents, including her mother, certainly understand that the Hajj of a child who has not reached puberty is not considered valid. In addition, her mother, who is affectionately called Umi, is the type of mother who cannot leave her child before the completion of two years of breastfeeding.

"She is just a mother telling the story of her child when he was little, his struggles, his hardships, especially during Hajj which is much more difficult than Umrah," wrote Sohwa Halilintar on her TikTok account @sohwahalilintar.

"Because Umi is the type who cannot leave her child until two years of breastfeeding are completed. So it is always mentioned and told in order to express gratitude and with jokes about Haji Thariq," she added.

That is the story of Thariq Halilintar who admits his pride in his mother's struggle during performing Hajj.
