Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Bringing in disbelievers to work, and the claim that they are more sincere in their work than the Muslims. Is this a form of loyalty toward them?
Answer:
It is not permissible to bring disbelievers into the lands of the Muslims, because this spreads disbelief in the lands of the Muslims. Also, the Arabian Peninsula is forbidden to keep disbelievers in it, so how can we bring them in? If they are residing and settled there, the Muslims and the one in authority are commanded to expel them, so how can we bring them in? The Muslim one in authority is commanded to expel them from the Arabian Peninsula. This is one aspect. The second aspect is that it is not said that this is a dire necessity and that this work is only mastered by a disbeliever. This is not correct. There are many Muslims who master work and labor, praise be to Allah, so a Muslim is brought in. Yes.
