Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible under Islamic law for non-Muslims to enter mosques and prayer areas. This is conditional on obtaining permission from the mosque management and on their conduct not defiling the sanctity of the mosque. In line with a decree of the Sultan of Johor, political programmes involving non-Muslims entering a mosque are not permitted.
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 pihak pengurusan masjid berkenaan dan perlakuan serta tingkah laku mereka tidak mencemarkan kesucian masjid.
