Summary
Selling land to a church is permissible, and the sale is valid when the conditions and pillars of a sale contract are met. However, if it is known that the purchase is for a sinful purpose, such as building their place of worship in a Muslim area or to harm Muslims, such a sale is better avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus menjual tanah kepada pihak gereja dan jual belinya sah jka memenuhi syarat rukun jual beli.
