It's ok for a guy doing it, how is a girl menno do it, might rip your jilbab in the process, I find it really embarrassing, I try and avoid lessons during that time and come home and do it, but then I end up having a lot of late prayers,

I don't like praying or even doing wudu outside my house, it's uncomfortable, plus 'cause I'm weak sometimes I can't keep bending up and down, it will hurt me so I sit down and pray and if I do that in someone elses house, they will talk and it will bug me :hmm:

I guess it's easier to wipe over your socks or even take them off and wipe the water over your feet instead of lifting them up..

I know my friends pray in like public places, even in the middle of busy markets, I doubt I can ever do that, I end up watching their bags imsad

May Allah give you courage to pray in public place! Ameen. next time hold the bag, and join in!

FiAmaaniAllah

In Indonesia, since majority population are muslims, putting foot in the sink during wudlu is understandable, but frowned upon in office buildings or in malls because normally there are already dedicated prayer rooms and wudlu facilities in every buildings.

I had some Islamic courses in a Finnish upper secondary school and there it was no problem to pray in the hallways or you'd get a room if you wanted. The teachers were so used to it, having so many Muslims praying there. MashaAllah, it was ecstatic! I hadn't experienced that ever in my Finnish-Swede schools. Well, I had always been almost the only Muslim who did pray in the whole school and we weren't more than a few, 2-4 maybe.

May Allah guide us all and strengthen our Emaan before it is too late! Amiin!

That really is considered rude. Washing feet in the sinks at my workplace is banned and there is a notice on the wall telling them not to. People wash their hands/face at the sinks, the thought of someone washing their feet in that very same basin is revolting.

The thought of inebriated fools spitting and retching in the sink after a night of binging is also revolting..
perhaps if you washed or bathed more often you wouldn't find the thought of a limb being washed so revolting?

all the best

Spitting and "retching" is also considered rude and disgusting, what point are you trying to make? I wash twice a day, morning and night. I, and many people find the thought of washing their hands and face in a sink that has been used to wash feet as revolting. The sight of this will annoy a few if you haven't already experienced it. You should request a mini-shower to be installed to wash your feet in.

Rude and disgusting is relative, whatever the case when it occurs it is tolerated given necessity and circumstance!.. that is the point I am trying to make.
Good for you, that you wash twice a day, Muslims need to wash five times and your feelings of revolt really have no bearing on that.

Also I fail to see whether your hands and face touch the sink, do you lick the sink with your tongue? wipe it dry with your hair? and stick your mouth and face on the water fountain? Why don't just grow up, not every thread is in need of your comments!

Rude and disgusting are 2 different words.
Rude = inconsiderate
Disgusting = Offensively unpleasant

It doesn't matter whether you wash 25, 30 or 50 times a day. In the UK, washing feet in a sink where people would normally wash their hands or face is inconsiderate. You obviously have a different way of thinking.

Stupid questions. If I puked in a sink would you continue to use it to wash your feet? You wouldn't have to touch it...:hmm:

Anyway, I'm gone.

Cheerio

Are you confabulating? I don't need definitions!

Rudeness and revolt need to have a logical reason behind them, I asked you whether your face of fingers come in contact with the sink itself specifically where the feet are being washed? it is a Yes or No answer, if yes, please describe how!

Will your puke linger there? do you not have cleaning people in England?
Again, if you washed your feet often perhaps you wouldn't have many hangups and revolt surrounding them.. feet don't retch, and chances are if they are being washed often enough then they are cleaner than some people's mouths and thoughts!


Anyway, I'm gone.

Fantastic ..

all the best as usual!
 
I wouldn't be embarrasse at all. The only difficulty I would have is if it is a totally public place (like if there were no separate female wash rooms) I would find it difficulty to do wudhu because it would be necessary to expose certain parts of my body (e.g. to do masah of the head).

Other than that it doesn't bother me what other people think Alhamdulillah.

May Allah increase us in our Imaan and Taqwah and grant us forgiveness and saviour from the fire of Jahannam during these blessed nights of Ramadhaan. Ameen

Generally she cant wipe over socks, as it may invalidate her wudu, and so her salah too. However it does depend on the situation.

I'd do wudu, and don't care what they say / think. I know Allah will ask them on the Judgement day "did you pray? Did you do wudu before praying?". And I'd do pray also, but I'm a bit scarred of it. I never prayed at a public place yet. And I asked the boss of the school there is a place for me to pray. She said, there aren't any. Anyway, she didn't say, but I saw on her face that she looked at me like I be a terrorist... She was scarred. Maybe that's why she doesn't want me pray there. But what's not late, that comes. But I'm ready to pray anywhere if the time comes, and don't really care about the others say or think of me.
 
SubhanAllah I am not bothered, sometimes it bugs me if theres is noise, I think t embarrasses my husband, Sometimes it is Salah time and I am with my kids in the park, I confess it is easier if anyone isnt there but I ahve done my salat ( due to excessive travel) in strange places.

I think in the beginning it would bug me especiallys since being a woman one has to show hair.hands and feet to do Wudu. That is still a problem bt if its women only it doesnt bug me, its weak imaan, defintaely when I use to fear people more, sometimes it still ahppens, although Alhamdolillah not much.
 
I use the disabled toilet ;) you can lock them so no can come in and they have a sink inside aswell.

i guess one could just soap and wipe the basin after use with the paper towel if they feel it to be offensive to others.
 
its good to pray whenever you can, but myself, id avoid praying in these situations.. I really believe that Allah would not mind very much if we missed our prayers for a reason like this one..

Well, I think the thought of using the lavatory without any fresh water is a lot more revolting than washing your feet in the sink....and thats considered 'normal' in the uk!
