The Ruling on Praying in the Churches of the Christians
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to pray in the churches of the Christians?
Answer:
Yes, if it is pure, there is nothing wrong with praying in it. They also pray in the mosques of the Muslims; they prayed in the mosque of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), in the presence of the Messenger, and he left them and they prayed. So there is no barrier to pure land, and no barrier to praying in it, except if there are images or a cross in it, then do not face this cross or place it in front of you.
