Re: Fixed place for praying???

Due to a number of free dodlers coming to the mosque who pay zero contribution this is fair to a few of us who pay all the contribution for maintenance of the mosque and surroundings- so in a way its fair , no objections to it at all

Re: Can i marry a sunni girl

Husain,

My view is marry her and as she loves you that she will do Misaq and marry in Bohra customs than go for it.

I am concerned that your family is too deep in the Faal business, leave it on Allah what happens in the future , have faith

Re: Can i marry a sunni girl

My personal view is if you really love her you should marry her but to keep peace in your family and keep parents happy get her to agree to convert and get married in Bohras, if she really loves you she will go with it. This is my advice

Re: Why Dawoodi bohra women wear colourfull Burqa (Rida)

I think Bohra women look great in colourful Rida, its a dress they have got used to and they love it it when they wear it at the mosque, a lot of competition on quality of Ridas . Please never ever try to tell women what they should like or not , Bohra women love wearing Rida apart from a few so cal...
