Reham Khan, former journalist and wife of PTI chairman Imran Khan, was also among social media users who responded to the clips former BBC weather girl mentioned multi-faith rooms that are available in various public spaces in the US.
There are multi faith rooms like everywhere. Never have I or my family both in the US or UK ever had to pray on the street. https://t.co/U2SRq6HIq0

She urged Rizwan to use some facilities instead of praying on the streets, saying she nor her family, residing in the States need to pray in public spaces.

Rizwan's way and location of prayer are matters between him and Allah, and it is not for us to judge. It is Allah who will accept or reject his prayers based on the sincerity of his heart, not us. Let us focus on our own lives. https://t.co/SfThJLNNXu

When and where Rizwan prays is between him and God… why do we need to criticise.. maybe someone who doesn’t pray will get inspired by seeing him.. who knows.. let’s live & let live & focus on our own weaknesses 🙏🏼 #MohammadRizwan

Leave Mohammad Rizwan alone! It's his choice to do what he feels is better for him, he's not hurting anyone or forcing anyone to do anything. It's still better to pray than not pray at all and criticise the one who's praying. Also, he's one of the nicest and most humble people…

Is other guy Rizwan? It seems like he's is in major city of US and mosque are everywhere now days in US but he has to do the marketing with Islamic touch. We all are Muslims and most of us pray but no one uses their prayer for marketing purpose. https://t.co/KQPS5JxXoe
