worse for us if it's not misogynistic by the way all right sir but the thing is this yes I mean as to can you cook I don't know really is that a qualitative question is in mmm I think that's really got to taste the food to say if you can cook or not really pizza but the question generally yes you can it shouldn't really violate the fast the air to Gus
it's not like it's in a mush it anyway ready answer that in the other question it is the valid according to the Hannover Messe when according to some other orlimar like if no lubob al-maliki that woman can hold her attic off at home but generally speaking doing the household chores or whatever is absolutely fine okay some people when they do it at the cast they turn into something weird but they think I remember in Pakistan once seeing somebody doing it together in a Masjid and when he's coming and he come out to
kind of go to the toilet or to go to do wudu he's wrapped his head with a kind of shawl or something like a blanket country hit cuppa like nobody can talk to him and nobody can see him and I mean gone into fugitive mode thinks it's the fugitive Harrison Ford I think that's not necessary don't need to go into something like that just act normal act natural okay you do natural things it's fine okay the gas is just really that focused that
mentality that dedication that kind of reflection that whole that kind of gathering your thoughts in worship kind of thing focusing okay so I hope that helps ensure
