Entering a Former Church

Question

Is it permissible to enter a building that was formerly used as a church? Today it serves as a restaurant, but some of the original design remains, including a painting of that man, an altar, and an organ, etc.

Answer

Hello 

There is no prohibition to enter there after its use as a church has been nullified.
