The Muslim's Work in Restoring and Painting Churches

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on a Muslim working in the restoration or painting of churches?

Answer:
It is not permissible. One does not work in the service of churches. Allah will suffice them without this work. This is aiding in disbelief.
