Are non-Muslims not supposed to be allowed inside a mosque? If true, what are the Islamic references supporting this position?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This matter has different opinions among the  Maraaji' of Taqleed who are the highest in Islamic knowledge. Many of them e.g. Ayatullah Sistani and Ayatullah Sayyed Sa'eed al-Hakeem say that non Muslims are not allowed to enter Masjid according to obligatory precaution but they are allowed to inter all other religious places like Islamic centers and Husainiyya and Imam bargah etc.

'Other Scholars e.g. Ayatullah Kho'ee and Ayatullah Waheed Khurasani say that non Muslims are allowed to enter usual Masjids "except Masjid al-Haraam " if they don't carry with them any item which can make the Masjid Najis.

I want to prepare a Youtube course on how to create websites. Will I get rewards for imparting knowledge even if non-Muslims get benefit from it? And will I get any sins if a student I taught creates a website with Haram content?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

As far as your students are from general public who can use the knowledge in good way, and you do not know for sure that they will misuse it in unlawful ways, you are permitted to teach them and give them your skill. If you are sure that a specific group of people will use the skill in unlawful work, then you should refrain from helping them to do unlawful work.
