WHY BEHIND MEN?

In the Name of Allāh.

This is faith-shaking! Can someone pose this logical challenge? For those in Da’wah, this may be chiefly useful to you. A non-Muslim asked: “Why do women stay behind men in the Muslims’ prayer (i.e. Salah)? Uh! How do you answer that? As Muslims, our concern is evidence before doing anything in Islam – we hear and obey without necessarily having an interest in …

DURING MENSTRUAL PERIOD

In the Name of Allāh.
