Q: I am a member of a Musjid committee. My question is about the ladies facility at the Musjid.
Some committee members feel that we must invite the sisters to attend some Musjid programs, especially which take place on special occasions and in Ramadhaan, in the separate ladies facility at the Musjid. There is no intermingling in the Musjid. These programs may also include meals served to them.
Other committee members are of the view that this must be avoided.
Please advise which is the correct policy to adopt in this issue.
