The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. You can view Ikram Hawramani's credentials on the about page.

If an answer does not cite fatwas, please feel free to leave a comment asking for a fatwa citation and we will update the answer as soon as possible to include fatwas.

IslamQA: Can Muslims go to church and listen to the prayers?

Can Muslims go to church and listen to the prayers?

It is permitted to visit churches to attend lectures or events, or to just see the proceedings, as long as you do not participate in the Christian rites yourself. Ibn Abbas actually used to perform the Islamic prayer (salah) at a church.
