Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to pray in a mosque that Jews and Christians visit for the purpose of photography and tourism in Arab Islamic countries?

Answer:
If the mosque is free of graves, one prays in it, even if the Christians visit it for sightseeing. This does not prevent prayer in it, as long as there is no grave in it, one prays in it. Yes.
