Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding eating during the daytime of Ramadan, for example, in some countries there are non-Islamic laws, and there are also restaurants that remain open during the daytime of Ramadan. In such a case, if a person finds an opportunity or has authority, is he able to order the closing of these restaurants?
The Shaykh:
If it is an Islamic country, they must close them so that the open sinners do not become lax in displaying their open sinfulness, provided that the ability to do so is complete.
The questioner:
And if, for example, there are a number of Christians in it, and so on.
The Shaykh:
The Christians eat in their homes. The non-Muslim is told: eat in your home. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
