Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 4944 — Praying in churches and synagogues
٤٩٤٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا سهل بن يوسف عن حميد عن بكر قال: (كُتب) (١) إلى عمر من نجران: لم (يجدوا) (٢) مكانا أنظف ولا أجود من بَيْعَةٍ فكتب: انضحوها بماء وسدر وصلوا فيها.
Bakr said: A letter was written to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from Najran saying that the people there had no place for prayer better or cleaner than a church; should they pray there? Sayyiduna Umar replied: Clean that place with water and lote-tree leaves, and pray in it.
