Hadith.731 - Saleh ibn Al-Hakam reported that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about praying in synagogues and churches. Imam (as) said: "Pray in them." Salih then asked: "Even if they (non-Muslims) are praying there?" Imam (as) said: "Yes. Do you not recite the Qur'an: 'Say, each acts according to their manner, but your Lord (azj) knows best who is rightly guided' (Surah Al-Isra, 17:84)? Pray facing the Qibla and leave them (to their practices)."
731 - وَقَالَ صَالِحُ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ
سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلْبِيَعِ وَ اَلْكَنَائِسِ فَقَالَ «صَلِّ فِيهَا» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ فِيهَا أُصَلِّي فِيهَا قَالَ «نَعَمْ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ اَلْقُرْآنَ: «۝ قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلىٰ شٰاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدىٰ سَبِيلاً ۝» صَلِّ إِلَى اَلْقِبْلَةِ وَ دَعْهُمْ.
