The Ruling on Bringing Disbelievers into the Lands of the Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I work in a job, and I have some disbelievers whose character is good, and I am confused about how to deal with them. Should I shake hands with them in the morning and ask about their condition?
Answer:
My brother, it is not permissible to employ disbelievers in the lands of the Muslims or to mix them with the Muslims. Employ Muslim workers and do not employ disbelievers, especially in the Arabian Peninsula, from which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them and ordered that they be expelled. Do not employ disbelievers by saying their character is good and their dealings are good, leaving the Muslims aside; this is not permissible. Yes.
