Hi folks I've been working in Bolton today and apparently if you brick up the window it can be classed as a prayer room, not applicable to 'bedroom tax'!
i doubt any council or ha will allow you to brick up a window
Ment month would love 800 a week

prayer rooms that are built in houses or in some institutions and businesses, with the intention that only the people who live and work in those places will pray in them, and which are not intended as public mosques that are open to all Muslims, do not come under the same rulings as mosques. In olden times, the practice was that a man would set aside a place in his house for prayer, which was called musalla al-bayt (the prayer room of the house) or masjid al-bayt (the mosque of the house), but this “mosque” did not come under the well-known rulings on mosques.
Al-Bukhaari (425) and Muslim (33) narrated from ‘Itbaan ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when he became blind and it was too difficult for him to go to the mosque on rainy days and when there were floods, he asked the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to come to his house and pray in a spot that ‘Itbaan could take as a musalla. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) responded to his request.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar said: One of the things that we learn from this hadeeth is that setting aside a place in the house for prayer does not mean that it becomes a waqf, even if it is called a mosque. End quote.
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (4/464): The “mosque” in a house does not come under the real rulings on mosques. End quote.
It says in al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (2/121):
A mosque in the house is not a mosque in the real sense and does not come under the same rulings, so it is permissible to change it and for a person who is in a state of janaabah to sleep in it. End quote.
Based on this, this prayer room in the house does not come under the same rulings as a mosque and there is nothing wrong with turning it into rooms for accommodation.
It should be noted that offering prayers in congregation is obligatory and is to be done in the mosque; it is not permissible to offer these prayers at home, even if it is done in congregation, except in the case of one who has an excuse, such as if he is sick or the mosque is too far away, and the like.

as this only affects people on benefits ,not being funny but how much people get on benefits nowadays they can easily afford this and don't say they cant because its better off being on benefits than low wage jobs ie if jobcentre did a better off at work calculation on you they will work out your be better off at work by about £15 To £40 but they don't count in that travel to work costs then you got to pay for your kids school dinners ,dentists ,prescriptions then people on benefits get things like budget loans basically an interest free loan not counting the grants they get for free
people have come to think they are entitled to things for free and have to do nothing for the stuff they get but its not there fault its the goverments fault for letting people have it like this for so long and people have come dependent on it
just say you gave a friend money everyweek for a couple of years to help him out then you don't as cant afford it anymore you wouldn't expect him to come moaning at you saying wheres my f-ing money
The real question here is, why have wages been allowed to get so low, means tested benefits end up being greater than many can earn?
I do agree there needs to be something done but why take from the poor?
why not give workers better wages, cuts in tax they need to pay etc etc?
Fook me, a comment I can agree with! I could get cryptic here but I won't, if politicians had any idea at all they would join up the benefit system so that people got what they needed. As it is, you can get more child benefit for every child (just an example) - cap the number of children benefit is paid for - solved that one. Limit the overall benefit so people who deserve it get a decent standard of living and no more. Then tax business for non-local recruitment making it more expensive to employ cheaper labour from, erm, certain EU areas. Give local business incentives for taking able-bodied unemployed on training/apprenticeship/whatever so they have a chance of getting a job and justify their benefit.
Finally, tax business not on where they are based but on their UK income - bollocks to this 'we are based in Luxembourg' crap...

Burden/Contributor breakpoint stuff: Are you a contributor to, or a burden on, the nation's finances? - 'Squeezed middle' increasingly dependent on the state | This is Money
Stuff in that makes it look like ~£31k-ish.
The logging of companies that employ disproportionate amounts of immigrants was mentioned some time back. Still awaiting the outcome of that...
Wages at the lower end of the scale will never rise while the current immigration policy exists (What are these "New Commonwealth" countries supplying?). LibLabCon policies are not helping the majority of the UK electorate.
I'll reserve comment ... However, on the burden/contributor front perhaps it should be contributor/deserving beneficiary. On the immigration front - I feel a modern-day Jarrow March will be required. As far as politicians are concerned just think David Lammy (Labour). I'll stay non-cryptic, again, this guy thought white/black smoke indicated the race of the pope, Brie was an English cheese and Henry VII succeeded Henry VIII. We are led by idiots like this? No wonder we are in deep crap!
Indeed it should be a deserving beneficiary. I'm sure at some point the safety net used to work.
I'm sure there would be a few more jobs if the comedy act Tony & Pals hadn't done what they did, although it started post-war. Cameron seems to be Tony's understudy but he'll start doing away with other levels of the employment strata with Indian graduates and now he's crawling to Brazil for something. Lib Dems triple university fees and Cameron invites Indian students over to study and stay as long as they want after they graduate and make £20k a year (hardly uncommon)...
Are there restrictions on the courses I wonder? 5M more media studies students is really what we need.
Is this not a planned destruction?
Are you pulling my plonker M8? It's called 'the US approach to World Domination'. What you do is offer education opportunities to those countries that are growing then, when they graduate and go home, they are pro-UK. That means we can go over there and do 'good deals' in the future. That's good for business and, well, not so good for others...
In the meantime you depress some areas by deliberately not encouraging them because there are big rewards to be had. It may not be this decade but the African nations are on some people's sights now...
Not everyone has been politically aware the duration of yourself . Scameron offered Degree + Staying Here to india.
