The Ruling on Disbeliever Workers in Muslim Lands and Their Oppression
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about what happens to Muslims at the hands of their disbeliever enemies. He says: Many Muslims have disbeliever workers, so what should be done in that case? Do they send them back to their families, or do they leave them under their sponsorship? And the disbelievers do to Muslims what they do?
Answer:
First, bringing disbelievers into Muslim lands is not permissible, whether for employment or for any other reason, except in specific circumstances, such as when the one in authority needs them for certain matters, or when they bring messages or are on a diplomatic mission. Otherwise, the default is that disbelievers do not remain in Muslim lands, whether as workers or otherwise. As for what the questioner asked about the disbelievers overstepping bounds against Muslims, we say: Oppressing disbeliever workers is not permissible. What is the sin of these workers? Even if they are disbelievers, oppressing them is not permissible. Oppression is not permissible for a disbeliever or anyone else. Oppression is not permissible for a disbeliever or anyone else, whether for a worker or a non-worker. Justice is mandatory. Yes.
