I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream? Well, especially if it's Ramadan!

The Lebanese singer, who recently celebrated her 32nd birthday, has ignited a storm in a teacup over a series of photos she has posted on social media.

The photos show Yara in what looks like a European location, casually dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans with her hair put up elegantly, but simply. She is wearing simple pearl earrings and a gold necklace and large sunglasses in that 'star-on-holiday-do not disturb' look.

She happily tucking into a cup of ice cream (or, given her figure, a frozen yoghurt?) in the middle of a pedestrianized street, before settling down in a cafe. 

According to Nawaret, fans are divided between blasting her for eating in public during fasting hours, and those who pointed out that Yara is a Christian.

Others criticized her for not respecting the feelings of her Muslim fans during the holy month of Ramadan.

In fact, Yara's Instagram account is full of photos of food and drink, so if you're planning to give in just before Eid, maybe you need to hit the unfollow button!
