Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to seek the assistance of a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah)? For example, what happened in the Gulf War?
Answer:
Yes, one of its examples is what happened in the Gulf region, because the Muslims needed to seek the assistance of the disbelievers for their expertise, and they give them in return for this what is not free; they give the disbelievers in exchange.
