Mosque Etiquette when visiting
Welcome to the Flint Islamic Center. Don't be intimidated if this is your first planned visit to a mosque. Just like everything else, it is a learning experience and you may just make many new friends. FIC welcomes visitors throughout the year and a guide will gladly answer all of your questions. To make your visit more comfortable, here are a few pointers.
While visiting the mosque we greatly appreciate your cooperation with mosque etiquette:
Footwear must be removed upon entering the mosque
No food or drinks in the prayer hall; you are more than welcome to enjoy food and drinks in the hallways and dining area
For reasons of modesty, avoid physical contact with the opposite gender
Please place cell phones on silent
Modest, loose, non-revealing clothes for both men and women
