Living in a street where there is a temple
Question
Can we shift our house to a street were there is a temple?
Answer
It is permissible. But the better the surrounding the greater the barkat and goodness. If there are going to be temples, churches and places of vice and sin around, proportionately the barkat will be decreased.
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.
