The question regarding written employment and their donation to the da'wah

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the employees from the People of the Book or others, is it permissible to ask about their condition or to gift them things as a means of calling them to Islam?

The Shaykh:
We know them; we know the Jew from the Christian. But the Jew today is a state of war; the Jew is in a state of war. There is no treaty between us and them, and they do not enter our lands because they are in a state of war. As for the others, they are in a state of truce and have treaties. So there is a difference between the Jews today and the other disbelievers. Yes, repeat the question.

The questioner:
Regarding the employees from the People of the Book or others, is it permissible to ask about their condition or to gift them things as a means of calling them to Islam?

The Shaykh:
Why do we ask them? They are disbelievers. Gifting them worldly matters is easy; they are gifted to and treated kindly. But gifting them books—the Qur'an or the Sunnah—this is not permissible until they become Muslim. It is not permissible to enable them to have books of Islam until they become Muslim. However, if their Islam is expected, we let them hear the Qur'an, we let them hear the hadiths, and we present them to them. But giving them books from the books of Islam, the collections of the Sunnah, or the Qur'an, or books containing hadiths and verses, books of fiqh, this is not something we give them until they become Muslim; because they will insult it. Yes.
