Question
The Jews have no right to enter the Arabian Peninsula
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
commanded that the Jews be expelled from the Arabian Peninsula, and said
that no two religions should co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula. This is a
shar’i ruling. It is not permissible for any mushrik to remain there. With
regard to the presence of the Jews in Madeenah, Khaybar, etc., this was
before the command to expel them, as is well known. The command to expel
them came during the final illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him), then ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) expelled
them after that.
