Dealing with a Rafidi Colleague at Work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We work in a school where there is a disbeliever from the Rafidah. We are asking for your guidance on how to deal with him regarding the family, sitting with him, and smiling at him, under the pretext of winning his affection, knowing that he has been in our school for several years. What is your ruling on this, and how should we converse with him?

Answer:
If you are able to transfer him and remove him from your school, do so; it is obligatory for you. If you are not able, then leave him in his job until Allah facilitates his removal. However, do not allow him access to your secrets or to see your affairs, and do not be overly friendly with him. As for working with him in the office or giving him ledgers to copy or organize, there is nothing wrong with that; these are permissible matters whether he does them or someone else does. Do not let him lead you in prayer, but if he prays with you, let him pray with you.
