The Ruling on Dealing with a Criminal Inside the Sacred Precinct
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a criminal intends to commit a crime and enters the Haram, saying, "I am now safe."
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to protect the Haram from criminals.
The questioner : But, I mean, we should expel them, Shaykh, and they should not overstep.
The Shaykh : Of course, you are strong, O Shaybah.
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh : Any place you return to, may Allah keep you safe, *Zad al-Ma'ad*. In this issue, it fully satisfies its right.
The questioner : What did you not say?
The Shaykh : The answer, as I said, is as the Hanbali jurists stated here: he is not to eat with him, nor drink with him, nor speak to him, nor greet him. He has no choice but to leave, unless he dies before that.
The questioner : He enters and eats and drinks.
The Shaykh : No, no, we do not throw them out.
The questioner : No one, there is no one.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to protect the Haram from criminals.
