Makkah Masjid Makkah Masjid is a purpose built masjid that was opened in August 2003. It is a three storey building, with the lower floor dedicated specifically for sisters’ use. The masjid has a total capacity of approximately 3000. For this event, brothers will be accommodated in two large halls on the ground and upper floor. A plasma screen will be present, insha Allah, on the floor that Shaykh Hamza is not speaking on. Map for Leeds Makkah Masjid Very good facilities are provided for sisters. For the Shaykh Hamza event on Sunday 18th September, the sisters will have use of the lower floor. There is a separate side entrance which leads directly to the sisters area. There is a larger front hall, and a smaller rear hall. There will, insha Allah, be plasma screens in both halls showing the event as it happens. There is also an adjacent hall usually used for dining, and this area will be available for sisters to use if required. There will be an overall capacity of 1000 for sisters insha Allah. It is proposed that sisters who have young children with them should sit in the rear hall. Please note we are unable to provide specific creche facilities. Although we do have good capacity to accommodate sisters, we would advise everyone (including brothers) to please arrive as early as possible to facilitate entry into the masjid. Doors will be opening at 12:30 pm insha Allah.
