As salaamu alaikum

And why can't anybody touch my feet when it's time for salah at most masjids?

salaam alaikum,
That is a good question, some muslimahs will not come close to pray...I dont understand why they feel so umcomfortable with that..and WE ARE suppose to....They are alot of things which I find discouraging in the masjids..like some sisters talking during the khutbah....and looking at me like they have that right....Sometimes I just stay home..
fi amman allah

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM,
I KNOW, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?!? I HAE IT WHEN PEOPLE TALK DURING THE KHUTBAH, I MEAN WE GO TO THE MASJID TO PRAY AND WORSHIP ALLAH, NOT TO CONVERSE. IF THEY WANT TO TALK THEY SHOULD CALL EACH OTHER AT HOME OR GET TOGETHER AFTER LEAVING THE MASJID AND TALK.

As salaamu alaykum
Man, Allahu Akbar.
I am sad to see that i am not the only one who has been throught this. Honestly it brakes my heart. I went to a masjid for jumaa'a and had all of these problem, I had never seem sister so disrespectful before. The use jumaa'ah as a social gather wont cover correctly , and wont close the gaps in the prayer. May Allah guide these sister to the Suratal Mustaqeen, Amen.

Salaam

I have no idea why women don't stand, "Toe to toe and shoulder to shoulder". I was at the masjid for Jummah and I went to stand by a sister, I went to put my foot next to hers.... She looked down at my feet (I had on socks, actually my husband's white "tube socks")she took her dress (which was really long) and covered her feet with it (she also had on socks) AND moved away from me!!

Salaam

As salaamu `alaikum wa Rahmatullah,

Talking during the khutbah? How about answering the telephone and conversing with the caller? I believe that it is the duty of the Imam to stop the talking during khutbah. He is the leader and if he does nothing, then there is no one else to "help the Muslims when they are doing something wrong." There is guidance from Allah Ta`ala and The Beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) regarding talking during a khutbah and perhaps, the sisters (and I have only seen the sisters doing this) need to be reminded or asked to take their conversation outside and allow the Imam to continue his duty to Allah (swt).

hi, i've been reading all these messages, and actually i agree with all but one of those points. ofcourse no one should be talking during the khutba, it's really wrong. but one thing that surprised me was that you people said it's wrong to use masjid as a social gathering. well, did u ever think why does Allah want us to come all the way to the mosque and not just pray at home. afterall it's a big waste of time to come to the mosque. well the only reason is; that mosques are just for us to come together and discuss our problems besides from praying. ofcourse we shouldn't be chatterin about irrelevant stuff. so next time you see someone talking about soemthing, then they are not wrong about it, ofcourse not during the khutba though. so, masjid is just a meeting place where we can come up with problems we face and have some good solutuons to them. too bad, i don't see masjid being used for this reason.

salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah sisters.

'The Masjid'

We cannot and should not put (all) of the blame
onto the Imam for the behaviors in the masjid.
Just listen to the attitudes in these posts:
why aren't we gently teaching our sisters ourselves?! What is sooo hard to say "sister
close the gap."
And the talking, just do what you can without
stepping the limits to put the talking to a
minimum. These issue are going to remain sisters,
so let's help the Deen of ALLAH and not help the
enemy of ALLAH. Sure I see what you all are
seeing yet as the one sister mentioned: the masjid
is a social center for the musli'meen, even on
Jumuah but during the khutbah everyone should be
silent(not even reply to the sneezer, nor return
salaams)but it is alright to love the company and
when you're in salah pray for those who are in
salah also for their guidance. Ask ALLAH to correct their affairs, we need not shun the good completely for it is better for a believer to endure the harm from among the believers than to
turn so far away and fall into sin by emptying out
and spreading faults. This is not Jannah and nor
is the Rasullulah, nor any of his companions male/
nor female among us,so we know the saying "if you
can't stand the heat____________________________.)
We whine(cry) sometimes sounding worse than infants, ladies grow up and help out to the best.
And Fear ALLAH as HE ought to be Feared. Support
and aid the deen with hikmah. These posts must
be represented in the way for the newcomer to
appreciate ALLAH and All that HE Extends as a way
of what another might appreciate better than him
or her who came after them (guided). I hope we are
those who make tawbah inwardly and outwardly.
