According to the Associated Press, Rihanna was asked to leave the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque after her impromptu fashion photoshoot. Although conservatively dressed in the custom garb, the 25-year-old singer’s behavior was reportedly at odds with the “sanctity” of the holy site.

“She was directed by visitor services to proceed to the visitors’ main gate and take the guided tour, according to procedure,” a statement by the Grand Mosque Centre reads. “She left without entering the mosque, after being asked to do so, due to the fact that she had taken some pictures that do not conform with the conditions and regulations put in place by the Centre’s management to regulate visits in a way that takes the status and sanctity of the mosque into consideration.”

Despite the controversy, RiRi continued the Diamonds World Tour Saturday night (Oct. 19) as scheduled. Check out pictures after the jump.rihanna-abu-dhabi-grand-mosque-karen-civil rihanna-abu-dhabi-grand-mosque-karen-civil3
