Prayer and Reciting the Qur'an in a Place Where Allah Has Been Disobeyed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to pray, or to recite the Qur'an, in a place where Allah has been disobeyed, such as a place where smoking or intoxicants are consumed, or where unlawful sexual intercourse has occurred?
Answer:
No, this is not a place of shirk (associating partners with Allah), nor does it have the works of the ignorant. These are merely sins. So when they cease, the impurity ceases itself, and praise be to Allah. Rather, the examples cited are those taken for shirk and polytheism.
