Zainab is a teenage girl, who last year September was sent early in the morning to buy some food items for breakfast before going to school. It happened on a Friday, when she was on her way to the bakery to buy bread, she saw a woman wearing Hijab (veil) squatting down as if she was urinating beside a mosque wall, she just passed her but was having doubt in her mind because people do not urinate beside mosque wall and a woman for that matter. “Women do not go to mosque here in the north but if they are pressed and there is nowhere to urinate, they are allowed to use the mosque toilet” She went and bought the bread and on her way back home she still saw that same woman squatting down in that same direction.
