Egyptian Dar al-Ifta attacks 'liberal' mosque in Germany The mosques allows joint prayer for men and women which is a prohibited act in Islam: says Dar al-Ifta
The Dar al-Ifta al-Masriyyah [Egyptian state-run Islamic institution assigned to issue religious edicts] released a statement on Monday in which it severely criticized a recently established mosque in Berlin.
Circulating photos of the mosque show male and female worshipers praying side by side– a prohibited act in Islam.
The mosque's name, 'Liberal', is meant to signify the founders' intentions to promote liberal and egalitarian ideology in mosques, such as allowing women to lead prayers.
