Sharing a Place of Worship with Non-Muslims
Author: Dr. Muhammad Ziya-ur-Rahman Azmi (رحمہ الله)
It is not permissible to establish a worship place shared by the followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, because the foundation of such a place is not based on Taqwa (piety) but rather on shirk and the worship of others besides Allah.
There is no true religion except Islam. Allah ﷻ says:
«وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ» [آل عمران: 85]
"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam—it will never be accepted from him, and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter."
