Discussion Show theft in masjid

My Husband’s shoes were stolen from the local Masjid today at Friday prayer. I tried to console him that the person may have accidentally taken his shoes, but my Mom told me it’s commonplace in Pakistan to have shoes stolen during prayer. My Husband ended up walking home barefoot, in the rain and cold.

I’m wondering why the Masjid’s in Pakistan haven’t thought of a solution to the shoe theft problem if it’s commonplace there?

Threads like these are what makes me scared to visit Pakistan from the US.

This doesn’t just happen in Pakistan, in a lot of parts of Saudi Arabia it happens even in Masjid Al Haram unfortunately.

Mostly by DESIS. That’s the sad part. From India, Bangladesh for the most part. Culture not religion is a problem here
