Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: In France, an apartment in a building has been provided for us for prayer, and the rent is paid by people who are not Muslims. Is this place a prayer hall or a mosque? And what is the ruling on praying in it?
Answer:
If you find a place over which the disbelievers have no authority and in which they have no favor, it is obligatory for you to do so. If you do not find anything but this place, pray in it until Allah makes it unnecessary for you.
