I think they'd go for the food.:wasalamex
Lol. Maybe in masjids in bigger Cities....but where I live...It's different. but then again....I wouldnt knowHm I think I'll ask Abu that but sis....If you think about it realistically...you could do that, but....if you got em to do an appeal on the same day....I'm sure they'd raise more :-[ wallahu A'lam.
Basically, am not dissing the effort and idea....I just think men [being lazy and all] would rather go with the appeal...since they're so common in masjids anyway.

n this can be done all over the U.K mosques as a collective effort. Not just in our areas.
Some advantages:
1) No charge for venues
2) No Advertising - loads of people will already be there
...etc
This is just another idea for raising money for Gaza. As for your fundraiser.. u still continue with that on Sat insha'Allaah.
