as salam alykom
Yesterday, I was running an errand, Zohr was on while I was still driving and no Masjeds were around. When I arrived to the place where I had to be, I thought of seaching for a place to pray first. One Masjed had no area for women, I went to seek the other one, but the doors were shut.
I asked a lady who was attending to the building. Actually the Masjed is built under a residence building (common in Egypt). she told me to go around the back area of the building where it was practially an open air place with straw mats spread on the floor. Mash a Allah, she was very curtous to assure me that she will make sure no one comes in. Sobhan Allah, I would have imagined praying in this spot Alhamdulelah.
