Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who brings non-Muslim laborers to these lands and does not invite them to Islam, but rather releases them? And likewise, one who brings in non-Muslim players for exorbitant sums, honors them, esteems them, and greets them on their heads when they win?
Answer:
All of this is not permissible. All of this is not permissible: employing disbelievers while there are Muslims who can do the work. It is obligatory for employers to employ Muslims who are skilled in the work. If a Muslim is not skilled in the work, and a disbeliever is brought in to perform a specific task temporarily and then returns, this is permissible out of necessity, provided there is no Muslim who can suffice in his place and you are in need of this work. Yes.
