The Dhimmi's Residence on a Floor Above the Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is a dhimmī (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) prevented from residing on a floor in a building that is above the Muslims?
Answer:
I have nothing on this at the moment, but it appears to me that it is not permissible for him to be on a floor above the residence of a Muslim. If he is prevented from being higher than a Muslim in his own house, how can he be higher than a Muslim in one house? Yes.
