Ruling on the entry of Druze workers into Makkah al-Mukarramah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some companies have Druze workers, and they may have work in Makkah al-Mukarramah. Is it permissible for these people to enter Makkah?
Answer:
This peninsula, neither companies nor others may bring in disbelievers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the disbelievers to be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula, and he advised their expulsion and said:. Therefore, it is obligatory not to bring disbelievers into it, whether Druze or non-Druze. Makkah, in particular, is not entered by disbelievers at all, not workers, not non-workers, not Druze, not others, not the Druze, not the Christians, not the Hindus, not the Buddhists, nor any other type of disbeliever.
The Druze are not Muslims. In fact, it is well known about them that they worship al-Hakim al-‘Ubaydi. They have a religion which they conceal and do not make clear to people. We ask Allah to guide them and to make them see the truth, so that they enter Islam anew, and so that they learn and understand the religion.
The point is that this peninsula must not have two religions remaining in it. Rather, it must be pure and dedicated exclusively to the Muslims. It is not permissible for companies or others to bring in disbelievers except in cases of dire necessity, through the one in authority, if he sees the need to bring in someone for a dire necessity: for medical treatment or other dire necessity, to the extent of the need, and then he returns to his country. Or the messengers who come from the disbelievers to the one in authority to deliver their messages and their replies. Or those who bring water, provisions, and necessities to the lands; they bring necessities and then return, selling them. These are the exceptions.
