    Talking to women

    I didn't think the thread would go this big. Jazakallah for all the responses. Alhamdulillah each time I am tempted to do haraam, there is that voice that makes me think twice. Regarding mixing, it is a tricky and complex issue. There are many controversies about segregated masjids/prayer...

    I was also mad to see that picture. But I've read reports that two males who were accompanying the protesters were also detained: "Two male colleagues of the veiled women were also detained by police." And the guy in blue shirt with the beard, that might be her husband/relative.
