Nowadays, viral videos often become the talk of the town, sparking controversies and debates among people. Recently, a debate erupted over a video featuring a Muslim woman praying inside a mall’s trial room.
The controversy arose after the woman, wearing a hijab, entered a trial room to perform namaz, using a jacket as a prayer mat. The video, shared by Instagram user rukiyeketencii, who lives in Calgary, Canada, has gone viral on social media. In the clip, she explains how she prays when visiting a mall that lacks a designated prayer room.
The video has garnered 2 million views and sparked mixed reactions. Some users criticized her, suggesting that she should have prayed at home. Others expressed concerns about using a jacket meant for sale. One user commented that she should buy the jacket after using it for prayer. Meanwhile, many supported Ketencii, arguing that the jacket belonged to her.
