Question:
If a disbeliever is needed in the Arabian Peninsula for a benefit, is he to be allowed to remain in the Peninsula, based on the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) action with the people of Khaybar?
Answer:
This depends on what the one in authority deems necessary if the interest of the Muslims requires it, for a temporary period.
Q: It is said, O Shaykh, that the intended meaning of expulsion is when it is feared that they will have strength and power, but what if they are individuals?
The Shaykh: The text is general.
