Prayer in mosques built in lands of disbelief with the permission of the state
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We live in lands of disbelief, and mosques are not built there except after obtaining permission from the state. Some people have argued against the permissibility of praying in these mosques because they were established by the disbelievers, and they do not want anything for us except division among the Muslims. This is like the Mosque of Harm. What is your opinion, and what is your advice in this matter?
Answer:
This is talk of ignorance, not talk of knowledge. My brother, if they allow us to build mosques, praise be to Allah, we build them and pray in them, and this is an opportunity for us. Yes.
