Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that non-Muslims are permitted under Islamic law to enter mosques and prayer halls. The permission is conditional on obtaining consent from the mosque management and on their conduct not defiling the sanctity of the mosque. Rules should be drawn up, including modest dress, covering the awrah, not raising voices and not making noise, and mosque management should provide suitable visiting schedules.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang bukan islam diharuskan menurut hukum syarak memasuki masjid dan ruang solat dengan syarat mendapat keizinan piak pengurusan masjid berkenaan dan perlakuan serta tingkah laku mereka tidak mencemarkan kesucian masjid.
