The ruling on praying in a mosque built by a disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to pray in a mosque that a disbeliever built at his own expense?
Answer:
What? If he has no purpose or call to disbelief there, even if it is far away, even if the purpose is far away, if the one who built it did so without any purpose, there is no harm in praying in it, because if it was built with money that is prohibited, such as riba (usury or interest) and fruits and the like, this does not allow for prayer. If it was built with money that is not prohibited, then pray in it, except if the one who built it had a purpose, such as calling to disbelief or the like. Yes.
