    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1353/1104=D/1430)

     

    For awqaf (endowments) and related duties, a Muslim should be employed to a possible extent. If there is no Muslim available, it is lawful to employ a non-Muslim in compulsion:

    ولا تشترط الحریۃ والإسلام للصحۃ لما في الإسعاف: ولو کان عبدا یجوز قیاسا واستحسانا، والذي في الحکم کالعبد (الهندية 2:408)

    What do you mean by services?

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
