Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some students of knowledge say there is no harm in agreeing with disbelievers to prostrate to their idols for the sake of a matter of trade, while believing in the heart that this is false.
Answer:
In that, we ask Allah for safety. It is not permissible to agree with disbelievers in what is less than that, so how about prostrating to an idol, or prostrating to a statue, or prostrating? No one who has faith says this, yes.
