Question
Is it permissible to sell a property to a church organization?
Answer
It is not permissible to sell one’s property to a church organization, as this is tantamount to assisting in the disobedience of Allah Ta’ala. The Quraan Sharif states, “And do not assist each other in sin and transgression.” [Maa’idah Verse2]
