Question:
The questioner asks: Is building churches major shirk (associating partners with Allah) or a means to disbelief? Please provide the evidence. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
A Muslim does not build churches; only the Christians or the Jews build them. A Muslim does not build them. If he builds them, he is establishing a place for shirk (associating partners with Allah). He builds them for the sake of shirk, and thus he becomes an apostate from the religion of Islam.
