A Christian entering the mosque to witness a marriage contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our country, marriage contracts are concluded in the mosque. Is it permissible for a Christian to enter the mosque to witness this contract?
Answer:
Why would a Christian attend? Because he does not oversee the contract and does not witness it. What is his need to attend? Unless he is required, there is no objection, but he has no need to attend.
