The Prohibition of Bringing Disbeliever Workers into Muslim Lands
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: A man gives his father a portion of his salary, and this father has a farm and has a disbeliever worker?The Shaykh: Who has the farm?The questioner: The father of this son, and he has a Hindu disbeliever worker. He tried to advise him to remove him and bring a Muslim, but the father refused. So, is it permissible for him to cut off this salary he gives his father, or what should he do, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: He may take from it; there is no harm if he disobeys his father, for example.
The questioner: The son gives him from his salary, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: What?The questioner: The son is an employee and gives his father from his salary, the father has a farm with a Hindu disbeliever worker, and he says: O my father, remove this worker, or I will cut off the salary I give you.So the father says: I will not remove him, and you do what you want.
The Shaykh: Is the father in need of what his son gives him, or not?The questioner: By Allah, he has other sources of income, but he is in need. If the son cuts off this salary, he will be angry with him.
I see that he should spend on his father as long as his father is in need of him.
The questioner: But the father gives the Hindu from this same salary?The Shaykh: There is no harm or objection in this, but we advise the father and others who have non-Muslim workers to call non-Muslims [to Islam] and employ Muslim workers.
The questioner: The son gives him from his salary, may Allah reward you.
