Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
 
At the outset, it is Makrūh (detestable) to enter a church or any other non Muslim place of worship. One should abstain from hiring a church or a church hall for having any functions. These are such places in which the anger and wrath of Allah Ta῾ala descends and it is also a gathering place for the devils. The effect of this environment will befall one by attending them.
 
وفي التتارخانية يكره للمسلم الدخول في البيعة والكنيسة ، وإنما يكره من حيث إنه مجمع الشياطين لا من حيث إنه ليس له حق الدخول ا هـ قال في البحر : والظاهر أنها تحريمية ؛ لأنها المرادة عند إطلاقهم.
(رد المحتار,سعيد ,ج1,ص380)
