Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to bring a disbeliever into the lands of the Muslims in the hope that he will embrace Islam?

Answer:
If his Islam is expected, yes.
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear theوَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ
[At-Tawbah 9:6]
So if he hopes for his Islam, there is nothing wrong with bringing him in, having him listen to the Qur'an, and teaching him the religion, so that perhaps he will accept the truth and then return to his country. Yes.
