It is disliked for a Muslim to enter a church, and it may be forbidden if it leads to harm. Reciting the Qur'an and learning it is not a necessity that permits entry. The Qur'an can be learned in homes, mosques, Islamic centers, public places, and schools, and is not restricted to the mosque or the church.
