Question
Can children gather at the masjid for activities on The Night of Power (Laitatul Qadr)? The children watch cartoon movies in Ramadan as well as read Quran with Quran competitions. High school/ college students gather and have discussions about school and life. There are also various cafes set up for sehri. At iftar the kuffaar community is invited to participate. This goes on at most or all so-called masjids in USA. African- American masjids invite kuffaar friends/ relatives for iftaar at their masjid. Are these activities permissible in Masjids during Ramadhan?
Answer
These haraam activities are not permissible at any time. Organizing such shaitaani merrymaking at Musjids and during Ramadhaan, aggravates the sins. In the USA, so -called ‗musjids' are not valid Shar'i Musaajid. They are centres of play and amusement for merrymaking and shaitaaniyat.
