Question
A Hindu asked me a question about religious rights of Hindus living in the Muslim Countries. He was asking me that why Hindus are not allowed to worship in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries? He even said in anger that Muslims have no right to stop non-Muslims from praying in Muslim countries. Can you please give an elaborate answer to this question and throw some light on it?
Answer
We believe that we cannot stop non-Muslims living in the Muslim countries form offering their religious duties. The Prophet (sws) of God and the Companions after him did not stop the non-Muslim population of the state from offering religious services. We have no right to impose restrictions without sanction from God and His Messenger.
