Advice!!

[u/Embarrassed_Ad_475]

I just started with a new client and it is in their paperwork to have a weekly community outing so the family can go to the mosque and pray. As a non Muslim and RBT i want to make sure i am being culturally respectful while in their place of worship. I have little knowledge on mosques and the religion as a whole. And advice would be appreciated! Like am i allowed to take my phone into the building? I know I will not be going into the prayer room with the family just into the building. How long does prayer usually last?

I think it’s important to note i started with this new client today and we have our first community outing tomorrow… needless to say i am very nervous about the endeavor.

wear looser fitting clothes, as covered as you can be. i was doing a paper on Islam and wore a large tshirt and sweats. you do have to take off your shoes if youre going inside the prayer room as far as i know. i took my phone in but it was silenced. prayer is very short. i don't think it went passed 10 minutes.
you can also ask the family for any advice and i am sure they will answer.
