The ruling on riding in a Christian’s car to the mosque and rewarding him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, I was walking on the road, walking to the mosque. A Christian, he says he is a Christian, so I was walking and he was in his car, knowing that I was walking to the mosque. He said, “You go to the mosque tomorrow, Amr,” and he took me with him to the mosque. So what is your opinion on this? He put me in his car.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner:
I did not say no to him, and I did not complete [the sentence].
The Shaykh:
Good, but there is nothing wrong with it. Did he do you a favor?
The questioner:
May Allah guide you. May Allah guide you.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever does you a favor, reward him.”
