Praise be to Allah.It is not permissible to hand over Islamic works such as those mentioned

to kaafir workers, because they cannot be trusted and we cannot be sure

that they are sincere. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning);

“Indeed there has been an excellent

example for you in Ibraaheem (Abraham) and those with him, when they

said to their people: ‘Verily, we are free from you and whatever you

worship besides Allaah, we have rejected you, and there has started

between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever until you believe

in Allaah Alone’” [al-Mumtahanah 60:4]

“The believers,

men and women, are Awliyaa’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors)

of one another” [al-Tawbah 9:71]

“And

those who disbelieve are allies of one another, (and) if you (Muslims

of the whole world collectively) do not do so [i.e. become allies, as

one united block under one Khaleefah (a chief Muslim ruler for the whole

Muslim world) to make victorious Allaah’s religion of Islâmic Monotheism],

there will be Fitnah (wars, battles, polytheism) and oppression on the

earth, and a great mischief and corruption (appearance of polytheism)”

[al-Anfaal 8:73]

The Council of Major Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

has issued a statement that it is forbidden to delegate the building

of mosques to non-Muslims, because of the evidence (daleel) and reasons

referred to above.
