The questioner: Never mind, this is a continuation of the question about mosques!
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: Regarding the concept of the cross, what is the ruling on praying in a mosque that has cross decorations, and what is the ruling on wearing a garment that has a cross in it, for example? And is every extra design considered a cross? For instance, in a mosque in al-Bireh, most of it is crosses. When we asked the honorable Shaykh and Imam there, he said: These are not crosses, even though they are clear crosses. He said: These are not crosses, these are decorations.
The Shaykh: I am!
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
