Going to temples to seek help
Question
I am very concerned about something, please can you help? Are Muslims allowed to go to temples where there are idols in order to seek help? And if one does, then what is the punishment for this action?
Answer
This is an act of shirk and disbelief.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
