The ruling on bringing disbelievers into the Arabian Peninsula.

The questioner: Shaykh, the response ofThe Shaykh : Ibn Baz regarding bringing Christians as workers into the Arabian Peninsula was specific, meaning he did not intend the Levant, or rather, lands outside the Arabian Peninsula, based on.

The Shaykh: This, while it naturally qualifies the previous brother's question, the answer remains the same; because the usage we mentioned was in the Arab lands, and it actually refers to a hadith, but I believe that hadith, despite its authenticity and its presence in the books of the Sunnah, is not yet the time for its application and realization, and it is .

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: -And upon you be peace- , the Rightly Guided Caliphs, let alone those who came after them, the non-Muslims remained in the Arabian Peninsula. In the time of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and after them, non-Muslims, including Jews, Christians, and even Zoroastrians, remained in the Muslim lands, and they were not expelled from the abodes of Islam as 'Umar ibn al-Khattab expelled the Jews from Khaybar. But this does not mean that this hadith should be realized one day when the conditions are met and circumstances assist in its realization. We do not doubt that the rulers, the rulers of the Muslims today, are meaning, they are the most deficient in realizing and implementing some of the Shari'ah rulings, which are much easier than realizing that hadith: , meaning, if we said frankly that if the Muslim states became self-sufficient regarding a group of these workers who are thought to have power and influence in the affairs of the Muslim state itself, that would be a major step. As for saying that every non-Muslim should be prevented from remaining in the Arabian Peninsula, this is a matter that is first, practically impossible to implement, and second, premature; because there are matters that are more important and easier to realize than that general ruling.

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Have I answered you?

The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh: And to you, we wanted to know what the opinion of the honorableThe Shaykh ؟

The Shaykh : Hashim: My opinion is fine.

The Shaykh: Blessed is Allah, perhaps you can also benefit us - as well - in what strengthens us.

The questioner: By Allah, we are benefiting, but we are coming just to benefit... we have... we help you with the expenses.

The Shaykh: A man is strong with his brother, may Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Hashim: We are coming.

The Shaykh: May Allah strengthen you, my brother, may Allah bless you.
