Prayer and Reciting the Qur'an in a Place Where a Sin Has Been Committed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to pray or 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 taken place?
Answer:
No, this is not shirk (associating partners with Allah). These are merely sins from the works of the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance). These are merely sins. If they increase, we increase, and praise be to Allah. The discussion is about places designated for shirk and idolatry.
