Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I am the owner of an agency for foreign labor. Is it permissible for me to employ non-Muslim labor in these countries, or should I restrict myself to employing only Muslim labor?
Answer:
Yes, this is obligatory. You must restrict yourself to Muslim labor, and there is sufficient Muslim labor, if Allah wills. Yes, and do not bring in non-Muslim labor, because they bring evil with them. They bring the call to disbelief with them. They bring sorcery with them. They bring hostility toward Muslims with them. So as much as you can bring in Muslims, bring in Muslims. Yes.
