Question

My grandfather recently passed away and he was not a Muslim. As a Muslim am I allowed to enter the church to attend the memorial service?

No.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

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.
