what's that learned to shower off now to shove off now right now right we wring lipstick and for all the men out there man if you stop well they see quality people wearing lipstick or perfume during your fast it's absolutely fine it does not violate the fast and wearing makeup does not violate the fast it has nothing to do with the fast at all so unless you're eating the makeup I mean I don't know why people would think that breaks the fast I'm trying to think Oh

0:38

unless they think with the lipstick by licking your lips you're taking in the flavor unless that's the thinking because I'm trying to think why would somebody even think we're in lipstick I mean come on all the mallanna's will always that just roleplay is that just when they're with katisa oh we've got eSAB comes in you like my boy you come to the room afterwards okay so I'm trying to understand why the question I would ask about lipstick and I'm

1:16

assuming is to do with the flavor maybe there's flavored lipsticks I'll act like I don't know but anyway so these things do not violate the fast now you can wear lipstick and you can wear perfume now people would say perfume you know what what if you can you can taste the smell to beef it that's actually at least some point because you can taste the smell of as weird as that sounds people are gonna think at this stage mostly you're losing the plot you need

some psychiatric help right which I won't argue against it's probably true but this you see that interestingly what scientists and medical researchers have now discovered and confirmed that there are all factory sensors in the tongue the same sensors that we have in the nose to pick up smell the olfactory senses we have similar or factory sensors with on the tongue with taste sensors in the

2:33

taste buds and that's been confirmed now medically so that is interesting so when people would say look I can taste the smell of something and or like people might say that that tastes like petrol but they've never actually tasted petrol that's because these senses of taste and smell are intricately bound people intricate in them but that's fine it does not violate tasting something does not break the fast by the way so if you're gonna taste something it does not actually break the fast it's considered discouraged if it was unnecessary but it does not break the fast hence a lot of the rulings that the han afiyah gave and things like this if a woman is cooking

3:12

and she needs to test like how much salt have I put in there and she's just like she can taste it it does not break the fast because tasting is not eating okay this on just testing you know I just testing and she tastes away the whole hundy she's like let me just taste that again taste one hour later she's eaten the whole handi only taste this one only mackerel this one right so anyway that's fine
