The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a dhimmi has intoxicants and their presence with him is harmful to the Muslims, are they to be taken from him?
The Shaykh:
You do not return it to him if there is harm to the Muslims; you do not return it to him, because harm is to be removed. Yes.
The questioner:
But.
The Shaykh:
If he conceals it and does not display it, then he is not to be followed. Yes.
