Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have non-Muslim workers who work on my farm. Is this permissible or not? Knowing that they are loyal to their work.
Answer:
As long as you can find Muslim workers, do not hire disbelievers, because Muslims are more deserving of this work. The wages you pay should be in the hands of Muslims who benefit from them, not in the hands of disbelievers. As long as there are Muslim workers who do the work well, it is not permissible for you to hire disbelievers.
