The Ruling on Employing Non-Muslim Workers

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on hiring non-Muslim workers on the grounds that they are better than Muslims in the quality of their work and their trustworthiness?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to bring disbelievers into the lands of the Muslims because of the disbelief and evils they spread, and other such dangers. There are Muslim workers, and praise be to Allah, who do better work than they do, and our money would be in the hands of our brothers who would benefit from it. So it is not permissible to bring in disbelievers, and there are Muslim workers who fulfill the obligation. Yes. Also, it is supposed that the Arabian Peninsula be cleared of disbelievers. The one who brings them in is contradicting the hadith, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Drive them out" . And his saying . And even if this is a worker who goes back, the majority of them do not go back; they settle down. Perhaps they settle down, and if they settle down, then this is not permissible: that they are allowed to settle and build in the lands of the Muslims. Yes.
