Question:
I am a driver for the hospital, and I have nurses with me. When the time for prayer came, I stopped, and I was worried about the nurses with me, so I took them into the women's prayer area. They are Christians. I asked about this, and I was told that this action is not permissible. What is required of me in this matter?
Answer:
There is no harm in it. It is permissible for a Christian or a disbeliever to enter the mosque. The Christians entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in his mosque. And Athath ibn Athath tied his camel to the mosque while he was a polytheist until he embraced Islam. So it is permissible for a disbeliever to enter the mosque for a need.
