Ruling on allowing non-Muslim workers to enter the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to allow non-Muslim workers to enter the mosque for certain tasks that need to be done?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. The Christians of Najran entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in his mosque. So, if their entry is for a need or a purpose, there is nothing wrong with it, and then they leave.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner asks and says: My wife is bleeding continuously during this period.
The Shaykh:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) tied Thumamah ibn Uthal in the mosque until he was released, and then Islam entered his heart and he embraced Islam (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes. But on the day he was tied, he was a disbeliever. Yes.
