Entering churches is permissible for purposes other than prayer, and Ali ibn Abi Talib and other Companions entered them. However, entering them with the intention of attending their religious festivals is forbidden, unlike entering them to attend their non-religious celebrations, such as weddings, which is not forbidden. "Al-Ikleel" (the wreath/crown) is what is placed on the head. As for the marriages of disbelievers, the majority holds them to be valid, but they are considered invalid by the Maliki school.
