Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the ruling on bringing a disbelieving female servant and entering her into the Sacred Precinct?
Answer me: How can one take a disbelieving woman to the Sacred Mosque when Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: [At-Tawbah: 28]? No.
This is forbidden for him,And if he is compelled to do this, he should say to her: she should convert to Islam.
If she converts to Islam, that is what is desired. If she does not convert, he must either keep her with him or send her back to her people. Bringing her to Mecca is not permissible,First: it is disobedience to Allah, Mighty and Majestic,Second: and a desecration of the Sacred Precinct.
The questioner: He, O Shaykh, is from outside this country and brought her with him. When he asked about the ruling and was told it is not permissible, should he return with her?The Shaykh: Yes.
He should return with her, or send her back to her country.
