A mosque has become embroiled in a sexism row after it banned female worshippers during Ramadan, but continued to stay open for men.
Jamia Masjid and Islamic Centre in Slough, Berkshire, claimed it closed its women s prayer area on Tuesday to comply with the government s 220 person capacity restrictions.
However the masjid refused to say why the men s section was allowed to stay open and operational.
During mosque prayers male and female Muslims remain separated praying in designated spaces.
It s thought that the mosque took the decision to only allow men in for Tarawih prayer - a special kind of prayer carried out during the holy month of Ramadan.
