Combining the places of worship of the Christians with the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 19037 )
Q: We would like to inform you that it is possible that the government of the Philippines will agree to fund a project by some national religious bodies. The project consists of: 1- A mosque for Muslims. 2- A temple for Christians (Catholics). 3- A temple for Christians (Protestants). 4- A temple for Christians (Anglican Christian). The project will be established in the international airport in Manila, so what is the ruling on combining the mosque with these three temples in one building? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
A: This is an innovated practice that Muslims have not known since the mission of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to this day. This idea only arose under the guise of contemporary, cunning calls, including the call for the unification of religions, which advocates eliminating the differences between truth and falsehood, and the differences between the true religion of Islam and other distorted, altered, and abrogated religions. Approving this practice and being content with it is a gateway to placing the true Islam, which abrogates what came before it, on an equal footing with other altered and abrogated laws, and it deceives the people of the earth. This is invalid, and Allah, His Messenger, and the believers reject it. Therefore, it is not permissible to combine
a mosque, a church, and a temple in one place, under one roof, and surrounded by one wall. It is not permissible for Muslims to participate in this, nor to encourage it. It is obligatory that the mosque be independent of the other temples, in a place far away from them. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
