indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] yearإِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَا
[At-Tawbah 9:28]
By al-Masjid al-Haram is meant the entire sacred precinct within the miles; a disbeliever does not enter the Haram of Makkah or the Haram of al-Madinah. The Haram of Makkah. As for mosques other than al-Masjid al-Haram, they entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his mosque in al-Madinah, and in Najran they entered upon him in the mosque and tied a pigeon of Banu Azal to a pillar of the mosque before he embraced Islam. So their entering for a valid purpose is not disliked. Yes.
