Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless your knowledge. The questioner asks: Is it correct for one to say that the joining of some Islamic states, including the Saudi state, to the United Nations is a matter of reconciliation?
Answer:
It is a matter of the interests of the states, in that they cooperate in their worldly and political affairs, and in warding off evil, the evil of the enemy. There is no harm in that, and this is part of reconciliation. Yes, this is reconciliation between Muslims and disbelievers, because it serves the interest of Muslims by repelling their evil and benefiting from their expertise. As for religion, no. In religion, we do not reconcile with disbelievers regarding religion. Our religion is not something we bargain over or compromise on. This is only in worldly matters. Yes.
