The Ruling on Officials' Dealings with Non-Muslims and the Duty of the Ruler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for them to interact with non-Muslims? Is it permissible for the state officials to interact with non-Muslims, I mean?
The Shaykh:
What is the purpose?
The questioner:
Regarding the terrorists.
The Shaykh:
May Allah protect you. It is obligatory for the ruler to fear Allah if he is a Muslim; he should fear Allah, enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong. And it is obligatory for the people of knowledge and the righteous to help him in good, and not to break the unity, but rather to help him in good. Yes.
