The questioner : There is more than one question, and perhaps the Shaykh's final word will be related to it, which is the matter of the state of the Muslim world. The questioner says: You know, may Allah preserve you, what happened a few days ago regarding the demolition of the Islamic mosque in India, which was carried out by the Hindus. I hope you will clarify what our role is in this regard. Is it only to expel the Hindu workers we have? Is that sufficient? Another says: You know, O honorable Shaykh, what happened to our Muslim brothers in India regarding the demolition of the Babri Mosque by the hateful Hindus, the worshippers of cows. We know that their belief is invalid and that they believe in the transmigration of souls. So what is our stance toward the Hindus working in our country, whether in women's tailoring shops, or in hospitals, or in bakeries, or elsewhere? We want a stance that shows our solidarity with our Muslim brothers in the farthest parts of the world, especially since clashes followed between Muslims and Hindus, in which one thousand five hundred men have been killed from both sides so far. We ask for clarification of the correct stance that conforms to the guidance of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) toward these people, and whether it is permissible to keep them for those who have the ability to remove them. We ask for clarification of that. May Allah guide you.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt that the enmity of the disbelievers toward the Muslims is ancient and deeply rooted. And Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8-9] It is obligatory for us, toward those who have attacked our brothers, to repel them and to feel that their aggression against our brothers is like their aggression against us, because the believer is to the believer like a building that reinforces one another, and the likeness of the believers in their love, mercy, and sympathy for one another is like a single body.
