Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In one of the countries of the former Soviet Union, there are some mosques belonging to the Shi'ah, and they have a wooden flag erected in the shape of a hand. It bears the symbols of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), 'Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them). He asks: Is it permissible to pray in such a mosque?

Answer:
No, this is a Husayniyyah; it is not permissible for you to pray in it. This is a Husayniyyah; it is not permissible for a Sunni to pray in Husayniyyahs.
