Disabilities and the Muslim/asian communities....

Salaams people.

We may have had a topic on this a long time ago, but lets leave that in the past.

Recently, there was a funeral near here. The people gathered in the mosque. Problem was that they had to gather in a different mosque than the one they are associated with. Why?

Because a few family members had degenerative conditions where they were wheelchair bound.

I am quite sure that there are easy access regulations out there to support disabled people, but do many muslims give it a second thought?

Are disabled people treated well in the muslim community or are they hidden away?

Is there a shame attached to disability? are there issues that are overlooked?

(PS this has nothing to do with cousin marriage - in both cases, the children were from marriage outside - with people who stayed in India.)
