Wudu - Ritual cleansing
Part of the reason for Wet Bathroom Floors in Egypt is Wudu.
As I understand from my muslimah friends: Wudu is the ritual cleansing before each of the fard (obligatory prayers)
It includes washing the hands 3 times and the face and rinsing out the mouth and sniffing water in the nose and then washing to the elbows and then wetting the head and ears and then the feet and ankles(some go upto the shin).
Wudu in Egypt is needed on a physical level to cleanse oneself of all the dirt, dust and pollution, so that one can be clean when standing before God.

All sacrifices will be distributed to Orphan houses and social organizations in Egypt on your behalf ,this is an increasing trend in Egypt where Social organizations slaughter on your behalf and distribute the meat to those who needed from orphans and poor people
