They will be answered by a female scholar, InshaaAllah • We will be moderating questions. Not because it is “bad” or “shameful” to ask. When a woman, Umm Sulaim (RadiAllahu Anha), came to ask the Prophet (ﷺ) a sensitive question, she said, “Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you [the Prophet (ﷺ)]) the truth” (Sahih Bukhari 130, 282, 6091, 6121).  In response, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not ridicule her for asking her question (as she was genuinely asking), and replied to her with an answer.  • Thus, we are only moderating questions to ensure that they are appropriate for each age group to view and discuss :) • All ages can ask a question. However, mature questions will be reserved for the older girls (14+) to ask, and will be answered at a later date. We will have a special session dedicated to addressing their concerns, InshaaAllah  <div>Rough Schedule:</div><div>- 6:00pm — Arrival + Mingle</div><div>- Start Spa Session (Hair Braiding)</div>- ~6:45pm - Asr Salah- Finish Hair Braiding, Start Face Masks- Anonymous Q/A- 8:37pm — Maghrib Salah<div>- Chat &amp; Chill (informal convo)</div><div>- 9:00pm — Dismissal</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Please bring water and an open positive attitude! :)</div> <div>Location: 4862 St. Charles Blvd., Pierrefonds, QC.
