Prayer...

**Tasneem** · 02-12-2006

Yesterday i went to the masjid for a arabic class and Teli-Link
With a scholar.

When their is not that much brothers we go on the
Brothers side and pray in back of them(Brothers).

So my cousin wanted to pray but the sisters told her she cant because
Her hair was not coverd.

So they pushed her ALL the way in the back of the line and told her sho could not pray.

:rant:

I mean she is not even in puberty and she was trying to learn the prayer

Because she had just excepted her shahaddah.
Is this true?

Does she HAVE to cover her hair in order to pray
And she is not even in puberty yet?

I dont think males and females are allowed to pray in the same room unless the is a veil or somee sort of cover seprating the two from viewing each other.

^They didnt use to do that at the time of the prophet bro.

salaam,

^^^ yeah true sis, they didnt used to do that (i dont think anyways). in prayer no one should be looking at eachother anyways, and as long as all the men are at the front, and women at the back im sure its ok.

regarding sis Zaniyah learning Salat and not having hair covered. take it from experience and next time inshAllah she will have all her hair covered. but i dont know about the thing about the other sisters not letting her pray. in my books that doesnt seem fair, since she is trying to learn.

Allah knows best.
