Question
My nephew is doing solar work at a Ahmadiyya Qadiani’s house. Sometimes during meetings at their office in Chiniot, they have tea that comes in, so they drink it. Is that halal for them or not? They are doing the work through a contractor.
Answer
There’s no specific reason why having tea with them should be a problem. However, the Qadiyanis are considered irredeemable heretics by consensus among scholars, and they use deceit to undermine the faith of naive Muslims. Therefore, mingling with them, dealing with them, working for them, eating their food, and going to their homes are all prohibited. It’s essential for the questioner’s nephews to avoid working for them and sharing meals.
In “Kifayat al-Mufti,” it states:
“If you want to protect your faith from trials, you should sever ties with the Qadiyanis. Forming relationships or mixing with them that could impact your religion and beliefs is forbidden.”
Mufti Rashid Ahmad Ludhianvi (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in Ahsan al-Fatawa in response to a question that:
“A person who observes fasting and prayer but has ties with the Qadiani community, even if he believes in them positively from his heart, is considered a renegade and undoubtedly worse than a pig. It is forbidden to maintain relations with him; if he donates to the mosque, it is not permissible to accept it. However, if he does not agree with the beliefs of the Qadianis and does not regard them positively, but only maintains relations with them for trade or worldly matters, then this person is not a renegade, but he is a very serious offender and disobedient. Qadianis are heretics, and the ruling on them is even more severe than that on a common renegade. A renegade and his son do not own their property, so any transactions like buying and selling, renting, gifting, etc., are not valid. However, a grandson can dispose of the wealth he has earned himself, but even the grandson of a heretic does not own his earned wealth, and his transactions are not valid. Thus, any wealth received from a Qadiani through any means is not lawful. Not just in trade, but any form of interaction with Qadianis is also impermissible. There are several evils in this: it cooperates with the Qadianis, in such dealings people start to regard Qadianis as a sect of Muslims, and this gives the Qadianis opportunities to spread their network. Therefore, it is essential to cut off all dealings and connections with the Qadianis. Even a person who regards them negatively but maintains relations with them is blameworthy. It is an obligation on other Muslims to advise such a person, and Allah knows best.”

In Al-Kufar al-Mulhideen, it states:
“And the second: the consensus of the Ummah on declaring as infidels those who oppose the religion known by necessity.”
(Majmu’at Rasail Al-Kashmiri, Vol: 3, Page: 81, Publication: Idara al-Quran)
In Al-Masawi Sharh al-Muwatta, it mentions:
“And if he openly acknowledges the truth but interprets some established religious matters differently than what the Companions and their followers understood and what the Ummah has agreed upon, he is deemed a heretic.”
(Vol:, Page: 13, Publication: Rahimiyyah Delhi)
Only Allah knows best.
