مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعِيصِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْبِيَعِ وَ اَلْكَنَائِسِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ نَقْضُهَا لِبِنَاءِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ»
Muhammad ibn Isma’il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan from al-‘Is ibn al-Qasim who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about churches and synagogues, is it permissible to demolish them for the construction of mosques? Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.”
