The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : ... some mosques have been turned into museums, and disbelievers enter them?
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Old mosques have been turned into museums?
The Shaykh : Meaning, were they built in their place?
The questioner : The same mosque?
The Shaykh : I am asking whether they built a mosque in place of this one or not? The point is, sometimes they leave this mosque and build another one around it in its place. If that is the case, this area no longer has the ruling of a mosque. However, if they turn it into a museum without building a replacement, this is not permissible; it is forbidden. Yes.
