The Ruling on Intercourse with Female Captives from the People of the Book and Polytheists

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
If the one in authority permits it, if the one in authority sees that they visit them, just as a doctor uses a disbeliever when there is a need, if the one in authority sees no harm, then there is no harm. And if the one in authority prevents them, he prevents them.

The presenter:
All of them defend you from the evangelism.

The Shaykh:
The one in authority looks into that, the one in authority; if the need calls for it, there is no harm in using him to treat the evil-doers in their patients, just as a doctor uses a disbeliever if there is a need for him.

The questioner:
May Allah help, whether they are from polytheists or from the People of the Book, the slaughter and intercourse with them are permissible.

The Shaykh:
For the People of the Book, there is no harm. And for the polytheist, there is a difference of opinion among the scholars. A group of the people of knowledge advised [against it] because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not distinguish between them. The female captive is called to Islam and then she becomes permissible. Yes.

The presenter:
By Allah, I intended these people.

The Shaykh:
The correct view is that she is like the one from the People of the Book. It was said to you: he calls her to Islam, he is ordered to guide her by his means. Yes.
