Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "And the condition for the one who is allocated a share is Islam." Then the commentator said, "It is allocated to the man, even if he is a disbeliever, if the imam permits it." What is meant by that?
Answer:
If the imam permits it, this is based on the opinion that it is permissible for disbelievers to fight alongside the Muslims, or the opinion that it is permissible for a disbeliever to fight alongside the Muslims if he has strength in him. There is scholarly disagreement on this issue. Yes.
