Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to lend to a non-Muslim under a treaty, or to one who is not under a treaty?
Answer:
A Muslim slave is not to be lent out. As for lending an item of wealth that he can benefit from, provided he is not a hostile enemy, but rather is under a treaty, a dhimmi, or a non-Muslim granted safe conduct, then items may be lent to him as long as lending them does not lead to a religious prohibition.
The presenter:
Yes.
