Dealing with Disbelievers in the Workplace: Between Calling to Islam and Hostility
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was said to the Shaykh (may Allah grant you success). The questioner says: I work in a company where there are some disbelievers. What is the standard for dealing with them so that I can balance calling them to Islam with my good character, and displaying my hostility toward them as disbelievers?
Answer:
Yes, while you are hostile to them, you call them to Islam and explain it to them. While you are hostile to them, if they repent and embrace Islam, you love them; otherwise, you remain hostile to them, because you have established the proof against them and fulfilled the obligation upon you. Yes.
