Meeting with the Gulf States that rule by man-made laws
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How can we justify meeting or gathering with the Gulf States, most of which rule by man-made laws and have churches in them?
Answer:
What is required now is to bring them closer to good, and what is required of this gathering is to bring them closer to good, so that perhaps Allah will grant them success until what they have of falsehood, and the prohibition of what is not by the law of Allah, and the presence of churches, and other such disbelieving schools, and other such things, is removed from them. This closeness to Allah should make it a cause for good and a cause for the removal of evil.
