[quote]Asalaam Alaikum.
I live in New York City, right where the event of Dr.Amina Wadud leading the Friday prayers on March 18 took place. I even saw the pictures where the lady was in front and behind her were men on one side and and women on the other. If it were women behind the men inclduing Ms.Wadud then from what I've read in the hadiths, it would've been fine. However, during the same week this Muslim Student Associaton convention was held. From there I learned from the imams and sheiks that whatever Dr.Amina Wadud has done, she is not the only one to be blamed. He said something like this, "it is also the fault of us Muslims that an event like this and unfortuantely many events like these are occuring". I really didn't understand what the sheikh really meant however, from my understanding it could either be two things, one is that the people who went along to pray Jummah with her encouraged this prohibited act and the other could be that Muslims should've joined and should have raised their voice in order to stop this even from happening. Sadly, this did not happen and this meant that the Ummah had failed to stop a great sin from occuring. This is purely my perspective and from what I understood during that MSA convention. May Allah (SWT) save us all from misguidance, Ya Rabiul Al Ameen!
