Used
to
pray
here
back
in
2019
when
I
was
time-poor
due
to
job
obligations
in
the
CBD.
Let
me
say
if
you
are
Hanafi
like
myself
this
is
not
even
close
to
the
best
place
to
pray
in
Melbourne
CBD,
use
the
musallah
on
Queen
St
instead.
Many
brothers
here
come
barefoot
and
touch
their
toes
to
yours
during
namaz
(praying
with
barefeet
is
makruh
in
our
madhab
and
touching
toes
is
not
part
of
our
fiqh
of
namaz,
but
that
aside,
even
before
COVID
it
was
disgusting).
Carpet
has
a
terrible
odour
and
desperately
needs
a
steam
cleaning.
Ablution
facilities
looked
atrocious,
I
always
did
wudhu
in
the
washrooms
of
my
workplace
beforehand,
didn't
even
want
to
chance
it
and
get
a
cutaneous
fungal
infection
nauzubillah.
Toilets
have
no
paper
towels
to
dry
your
hands
either.
During
iftar
one
evening
they
had
a
guest
speaker
from
Crescent
Wealth
Super
Fund
as
well,
and
during
his
speech
he
expressed
support
for
the
Wahhabi
groups
in
the
Syrian
war,
I
felt
disgusted
and
left
abruptly
that
evening,
never
thought
I'd
hear
such
things
in
Australia.
Finally,
the
timing
of
Asr
namaz
is
calculated
using
the
methods
of
the
other
3
madhabs,
not
Hanafi.
All
around
not
great
considering
they
claim
to
represent
all
of
the
Muslims
in
Victoria.
Avoid
unless
absolutely
necessary.
Might
I
suggest
the
Albanian
mosque
in
Dandenong
as
an
excellent
alternative
(strict
Hanafi
rules
and
beautiful
Ottoman
style)!
