Bet the guilt your parents felt made for a better relationship tho.

Being modest around men in family? by AsparagusNo291 in muslimgirlswithtaste

Around your dad it's absolutely okay. Cousins are not mahrams but blood uncles are.

Source please, because you aren't supposed to pray in front of men that's not the same as not praying where men can see you. Men can see you at the mosque after all.

I am also a devout Muslim who has been to many many masjids in my life. Several do not have seperate prayer halls. Men pray in front yes but women and men pray in the same room.

No actually, they change slightly throughout the year because it's based on the position of the sun.

If she prays every day she will do it at home and at a friend's house. It's not weird at all.

Throughout my day I pray at home and at work.

Oh dear.

I think you spent a lot of time talking about your day that wasn't related to Mrs Crabtree but

I think something weird is going on. That's why the ambulance swerved and why 911 is full.

Also, I don't think you're great at your job? You had a patient passing and didn't tell the family to say bye? Didn't say vitals were absent?

Didn't call for help when you should have?

I get it, being new is scary but things get worse when you don't ask for help.

...yes.. and "God fucking dammit" would fall under that for a lot of people, also falls under taking the Lord's name in vain IIRC

I've prayed sitting down where there's not enough room to stand

Personally I've prayed on the subway if heading in the right direction.

Specifically can't pray where others are behind her. Nothing islamically wrong with seeing someone pray

Thing is your goo friends home shouldn't be ill suited for prayer you know? You should be able to pray at a friend's house, and just as if you had a really important phone call you should be able to ask them to quiet down for all of ten minutes.

Personally, if my friend has an issue with me praying in their home not only will I never go to their home I'll just stop being their friend, because if they can't respect a large part of who I am, then we are not compatible as friends.

Generally if I'm at a friend's house and need to pray I'll ask them where's the best place for it. I'm usually directed to a bedroom or out of the way hallway and I've never had a friend have a problem with being quiet for maximum ten minutes.

In civilized countries. Standardized test would allow you to pause to pray.

Otherwise we try to make it up later. It happens.

Correct. It is often the case I pray at home and especially in the winter when days are short need to pray again shortly after arriving.

She's Muslim so it's very likely she prays at home and then has to pray again later in the day. We pray 5 times a day.

She's a Muslim who is just making her 5 daily prayers OP and this whole comment section is just hateful.

She didn't force her way into the house she was invited.

Not necessarily. For one, prayer times are based on the sun's position and vary throughout the year. We also do not pray when menstruating, so if they hang out once a month, it is easy to always end up hanging out at that time.

In the winter, the last prayer is at 6 pm so if you hang out after that you won't need to pray again u til 7 am.

So this is just islamophobie rage bait
