The Ruling on Renting a House to a Non-Muslim and How to Greet Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the owner of a house to rent it to a non-Muslim? And if this is permissible, what is obligatory for his neighbors? And how should he greet him, especially when he meets him for the purpose of inviting him to Islam?
Answer:
There are currently housing systems for workers; they provide housing in specific locations to control them and maintain security. They do not allow them to integrate into the neighborhoods or mix with the people, because they pose a danger, engage in espionage, and are a source of affliction. So they have designated places to live in, and they are under supervision. Yes.
