Standing up to China

In July 2019 Masood learned that some Chinese companies in Pakistan did not allow Muslim employees to perform daily obligatory prayers during working hours.[8][9] Masood urged employees to tell their Chinese employers that "they'll have to follow local laws and the country does not belong to them."[9] Masood said, "People are afraid that they will lose their jobs."[9] An old video of Masood saying this surfaced on social media on 26 June 2020.[9]

COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan, the Government of Sindh announced a lockdown on 22 March 2020.[10] Muhammad Taqi Usmani (of Jamia Darul Uloom, Karachi) announced on 25 March 2020 that people should still congregate for prayers except for those over fifty, young children and people with COVID-19 symptoms.[11]

Masood disagreed with Usmani by supporting a ban on congregational prayers.[11] Masood said: "We still don't understand the intensity of this virus. You can pray at home during this time and ask Allah for forgiveness and health."[11]

On 7 April 2020, Masood took part in a BOL Entertainment programme to give people religious advice on COVID-19.[12]
