Sheltering Witch Servants in Homes and Its Relation to the Cursing Mentioned

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are maids in some houses who practice sorcery, and yet we find that some of the owners of these houses have kept them in their homes and provided them shelter. Does this fall under the curse that has been reported?

Answer:
What did you mean by the one who shelters in Makkah, the one who prevents the application of the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) on a criminal against whom the hudud has been established? As for bringing disbelievers to the lands of the Muslims, this is another forbidden matter. It is forbidden to bring disbelievers into the Arabian Peninsula, and one is commanded to expel them from it, because the Arabian Peninsula is the source of the message. Therefore, two religions do not coexist in it; there is to be no religion in it except Islam, because it is the source of the message and the source of Islam. Thus, nothing else is to be mixed with Islam in this peninsula. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised.
