Praying in the Churches of the Christians

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the correct ruling on praying in the churches of the Christians if they are free of images, crosses, and music, being merely a building? Is it permissible to pray in them?

Answer:
the earth has been made for me a place of worship and a means of purification.جُعِلَتْ لِيَ الأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا
Sunan Ibn Majah 567Sahih (Darussalam)
The entire earth, yes.
