Making a film inside the Musjid
Question
Can we allow kuffaar to make a film inside our Musjid?
Answer
This is totally haraam and forbidden in Islam. Supporting and assisting any sin is prohibited. Imagine allowing the sin to take place in the house of Allah Ta'ala. This is among the most heinous and serious of crimes in the sight of Allah Ta'ala.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
