Ask Qul - QA

Question : #808

Subject:	Masjid or Imam Bargah
Question:	Assalam o Alaikum, Why momeneen call their place of worship Imam Bargha, not a Masjid. Why this important to ask membership dues when the Imam Bargha could run by khums and zakat. When I was sunni, I was never asked for membership. This is not a place anybody can come joine the majalis.
Answer:	Alaykum Salaam, An Imam Bargah is not a Masjid but a place that normally commemorates the tragedies of Karbala. Any membership may be used to fund the operation of the center.
