A man listens to a Sohbet (Islamic sermon) and starts
Seating the women and the men separate
His friend comes for a visit during a Islamic Holiday
and asks, What happened?
He says: one minute please, the women will go to this side and
the men will come this way
his friend, ahh you have brought new customs to an old town
The man said, my brother this isn’t a new custom. It has always been that way
we just learned about it
I listened to the sermon of a Hodja and your wife his Haram to me
And my wife is Haram to you
You can’t look at each other and my wife can’t serve you tea
And as she walks away you can’t look at her
There is no such thing
This is how it is going to be, she is going to knock on the door
And I will get the tea and serve you your tea, soup etc.
We will eat, drink and talk. The women will do the same
They can laugh, talk and if they feel hot they can even open a button
They can comfortably sit and visit with each other, let them breath
Sitting with us, their voice, getting up, talking etc. all of it will be a burden
Men and women can’t sit in one place
It can’t be!
After that his friend didn’t come for a long while
Didn’t call nor came by again
One day they crossed path on the street
How are you? Are you well etc.? I’m fine this and that…
His friend said, I’m not going to come visit you anymore. I’m very angry with you!
We came on the Holiday and you didn’t even show us your wife
You dishonorable man, who did you come to see?
My wife or me?
My wife or me?
