If you would ever like to make an appointment with Sh. Umer while completely remaining anonymous in front of him, this is your way to do it. Just follow the instructions:
1. To secure a time slot in which you can speak with Sh. Umer, sign up anonymously on the spreadsheet provided below by following the example. All chat appointments should be between 6-8pm on M-F. If you do not see any changes or comments made by Sh. Umer on your requested time slot the morning of your scheduled appointment then that means your appointment is secured, insha'Allah.
2. Make sure to make an appointment 3-4 days in advance to be guaranteed that Sh. Umer will provide his services and also in order to avoid any kind of traffic.
3. Another option is if you have no particular question then starting next week after the first chat session of the summer, Sh. Umer will start showing up to the chatroom from 6pm-8pm Monday through Fridays. He will leave his chatroom on in case anyone just has general questions. In this situation however, there are no guarantees that Sh. Umer will respond (the only guaranteed scenario is if you secure a time slot to speak with him as mentioned above.) There are various reasons why Sh. Umer may not be able to respond back immediately, sometimes because he may have office hours where he is assisting someone else. Do not think that he is ignoring you, he could very well be helping someone else in the chatroom.
4. Also, once you enter the original Chat Islam Out chatroom, for privacy purposes and so that no one else reads in on the conversation, please select the private message option to message sh. umer on the side bar of the chatroom. You do not have to provide any identity, perhaps to make it easier you can announce your anonymous identity from the online appointment maker.
5. We have tried our very best to make this website work smoothly and simply for everyone's benefit, we hope no one abuses this service and respects everyone and their hard work, insha'Allah. Please let us know if there is anything we can improve on.
