The ruling on the sponsorship of workers after the death of the owner and their redirection

The questioner:
My father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away and left behind fifteen workers, some of whom are Muslim and some are disbelievers, and two who are working on their own account. What is obligatory for the heirs to do now?

The Shaykh:
How?

The questioner:
My father (may Allah reward you) passed away and left behind fifteen workers.

The Shaykh:
They were working for him.

The questioner:
Yes, indeed. Previously, and at the end of his life, he left them, meaning each one was working on his own account.

The Shaykh:
They were working for them.

The questioner:
Yes, indeed, may Allah grant you success. He was their guarantor, then...

The Shaykh:
He says: Do they work for him or for someone else?

The questioner:
Did they work for him at the beginning, and then before his death (may Allah have mercy on him) they were working for someone else?

The Shaykh:
When he died, the sponsorship ended. When he died, the sponsorship ended. It is up to others.

The questioner:
The point is that they are still here; they have not gone to their homelands. Some of them are disbelievers, and some of the heirs (may Allah guide them) are helping them with their passports and such, and are finalizing their residency permits.

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to make efforts to send the disbelievers back to their families. This island has not been spared from disbelievers, so make efforts to send them back to their families. As for the good ones, if you help them, may Allah reward you with good. If you help the good ones to stay, and you are in place of your father regarding the disbelievers, may Allah reward you with good. As for the disbelievers, send them away.

The questioner:
It remains in the father's name.

The Shaykh:
Even if it is a person, inform the passport office that the owner has passed away, and that we are only sponsoring them until you get rid of them, and then release this.
