Summary
It is haram for a Muslim to request or direct non-Muslims to pray according to their own religions in a gathering attended by followers of various faiths. Muslims are also prohibited from organising or attending any event involving the religious rites of other religions, as a sadd az-zara'i measure to close the paths that may harm the faith. A Muslim is not considered sinful for being present at a gathering that involves no religious rites of another religion, where non-Muslims pray according to their own faith of their own accord.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum orang Islam meminta atau mengarahkan orang bukan Islam bersama-sama berdoa mengikut anutan agama mas ing-masing dalam satu majlis yang dihadiri oleh penganut pelbagai agama adalah haram.
