Question
My husband and I were travelling and thus had to stop at a masjid to perform salaah. We stopped at the Musgrave Masjid in Durban. I was shocked to enter the wudhu khana area to find 3 cctv cameras facing me from all directions, making it impossible to make wudhu without exposing some part of the satr. Even if these modernists don't believe that niqaab is fardh at least I think they know "hijaab"is fardh. Then too, how does a lady make masah of the head? Allaah save us. Please inform others who perhaps out of necessity being musaafir need to perform salaah to rather use some other venues. This is the same masjid that attracted a huge crowd of females for taraweeh salaah. I was surprised at the huge size of the ladies section but I was told that during taraweeh the sliding doors had to be opened to accommodate more women. Perhaps there were more ladies than men.
Answer
The modernists of this specific Musjid are fussaaq who do not believe that Hijaab is Fardh. They have no real affinity with the Shariah, hence they are notorious for their haraam shenanigans in the Musjid. Haraam pictography, women in the Musjid, messup I'tikaafs and in general blithe disregard for the Shariah are the attributes of these modernists who happen to be in charge of the Musjid.
Travelling females should not perform Salaat in such Musaajid where the Shariah is flagrantly violated.
which I pay Zakaat. I have recently acquired some gold jewellery. A year has not passed. Is Zakaat to be paid on the jewellery as well?
A. You have to pay Zakaat on the gold jewellery as well even if a year has not passed. When calculating your Zakaat you have to add together all Zakaat assets which are gold, silver, stock-in-trade and cash. Then deduct any debts and pay Zakaat on the balance.
