Q: I work at a place where I am not allowed to perform Jumuah because they need me at work. I have missed a month's worth of Jumuah. I need the money as I have a lot of debts, immediate and long-term, that I need to pay off. It's difficult to find a job in this country (New Zealand), and I need some advice. What should I do?
Q: I have a question with regards to method of performing salaah. If one is performing salaah, whether alone or in jamaah, should the person recite his tasbeehat in a manner that the next person can audibly hear what he is reading or should the brother read it softly so that the next brother cannot hear what the brother is reading.
Q: We have a small Musallah at our University where five times daily salaat takes place. The Musallah is used by students and residents of the surrounding area. There is also a ladies Musallah. We have received a request from some of the residents of the area to allow ladies to follow the Imam in taraweeh salaah. The committee is unsure on the permissibility of this and would like to seek your advice. Another factor to take into consideration is that the only facility the could be available for ladies is a Wendy house that is situated alongside the males Musallah. (the ladies Musallah is in front of the Imam, hence ladies cannot follow from there). The wendy house is behind the Imam, but there is a gap between the males Musallah and the wendy house. The saffs do not flow from the males musallah into the wendy house. Will it be permissible to perform salaah in the wendy house?

Q: Our Musjid, has gone through an extension on the left side, However there is a separating wall (not completely separated few rows the an entrance, and few rows again) in between the Original Musjid and the extension.
