The questioner:
Yes, please, Ali, go ahead. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.
The presenter:
May Allah preserve your life. The television is short, Ali, the television is a bit short. I have a television. Please, please.
The questioner:
I have a non-Muslim worker, Shaykh, and I talk to him and he talks to me on the mobile phone, and sometimes I return his salam and I greet him, and I serve him, Shaykh, for example, I pick him up from the airport and I bring him things, for example, and I advise him about Islam, and he is almost convinced, I mean, but is there anything on me, Shaykh, for example, because I serve him, for example, that is my question, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
My brother, it is not permissible for you to bring a non-Muslim worker to the lands of the Muslims, and Muslim workers are many, praise be to Allah, so it is not permissible for you to bring a non-Muslim worker, but since you have brought him and concluded a contract with him, fulfill the contract between you and him, then send him back to his family. As for the salam, do not initiate the salam, but if he greets you, return it to him and say, "And upon you," and "And upon you, yes."
Yes, please, Ali, go ahead. Peace be upon you.

And upon you be peace.

Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.

And upon you be peace.
