The Use of Disbelieving Drivers in Homes and the Responsibility to Prevent It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, last week you responded to a question from a brother who mentioned that one of the disbelieving drivers accompanied one of the families, and they were women who took him to one of the celebrations. After the celebration ended, he took the car to one of the companies, as it happened. We place the burden and the blame on you; because it is within your power to prevent the use of those disbelievers inside the homes, and this does not cost you anything other than graciously visiting the one in authority. And Allah will ask you, because you are the primary ones responsible for establishing the law of Allah and acting upon the hadith that says, "No one will remain in the Arabian Peninsula except a Muslim," or as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said. May Allah reward you with the best reward.

The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that I am among those responsible, and I have been confused in this matter, as Allah knows, by the writing and the direct confusion, not with the King and not with anyone other than the King. And we have clarified to them that this is wrong, and that it is not permissible to bring them in, and we published this in the newspapers, and we clarified it in these gatherings, with the King (may Allah guide him), with the Crown Prince, and with the Minister of the Interior, both orally and in writing, and we ask Allah for their success. And they have issued a general order regarding not bringing them in; they have issued it, a general order was issued, to the internal director to prevent it.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
From among the drivers and non-drivers of the disbelievers, from the servants and drivers, and I ask Allah to grant faith through the prevention of the workers, even the workers. I ask Allah to expiate their evil and to facilitate their prevention.

The questioner:
Who were they?

The Shaykh:
And he sees the side that is provided, and perhaps Allah will act through the cold causes.

The questioner:
Amen.

The Shaykh:
And there is nothing in our hands except the trial; there is nothing in our hands but the meaning.

The questioner:
No shortening.

The Shaykh:
They only bring the trial, as for the elite, the children of the matters, we ask Allah to grant you success with it.
