Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a disbeliever has expertise, is it permissible for him to be the manager of the department? And is this a form of authority over Muslims?

Answer:
Yes, he is not appointed. A Muslim is appointed to manage the department. This person is merely an employee working under the Muslim department manager.
