The ruling on performing the Friday prayer in a church when no other place is available
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A student traveled to Britain to study there, and he says: We used to perform the Friday prayer in a church because there was no larger place available. What is the ruling on performing the prayer there? And what is the ruling on their prayer? Do they have to repeat it if it is not permissible?
Answer:
If the church is pure, and you find no place other than it, there is no harm in praying in it, provided it is pure and contains no crosses or images that you face while praying. If it is pure and free of crosses and images, there is no harm in praying in it, because you are praying to Allah the Exalted.
