The Disbeliever Entering the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a disbeliever to enter the mosque?

Answer:
There is no objection. The Christians of Najran entered upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in his mosque; they negotiated with him in the mosque. Likewise, Thumamah ibn Uthal was tied up in the mosque for days while he was a disbeliever, before he embraced Islam. Yes.
