The work of disbelievers in building and cleaning mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
No, it is forbidden. There is a general circular prohibiting it.

The Shaykh:
The state has issued a general circular prohibiting the work of disbelievers in mosques, whether building, sweeping, or anything else. If one finds someone working in the mosques, he should report it to the Waqf (Endowments) authority, which will prevent it. There is a general circular from the King prohibiting disbelievers from working in mosques, whether as engineers, sweepers, or servants. All of this is forbidden. So, whoever knows of a mosque where disbelievers are working should alert us, not the Waqf authority in every country. In some schools, the students work in the mosque. Then the people are asked to do it.
And if you find this, alert them, alert them. If you find this, alert them. Yes. And if, Shaykh, some Koreans built it. May Allah forgive. May Allah forgive. But the future. No, no. Later. If there is something, alert. Cooperation is obligatory. Yes.
