The Ruling on Hiring Non-Muslim Labor and Disbeliever Athletes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who brings non-Muslim laborers to these lands and does not invite them to Islam, but rather dismisses them? And what about one who brings non-Muslim athletes for exorbitant sums, honors and esteems them, and greets them on their heads when they win?
Answer:
All of this is not permissible. Bringing in disbelievers while there are Muslims who can do the work is not allowed. It is obligatory for business owners to hire Muslims who are skilled in the work. If a Muslim does not bid for the work, and a disbeliever is hired only for a temporary job and then returns, then this is obligatory when there is a need, if there is no Muslim who can suffice for this work. Yes.
