Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to allow the Christians and polytheists to build churches and temples in Muslim lands?
Answer:
It is not permissible to enable them to do so; in Muslim lands, it is not permissible. However, their old churches remain until they collapse, and they are not rebuilt. If one collapses, it is not rebuilt in Muslim lands.
