Yes. Since $|q|\le \mu$ and $u\ge 0$,The operator $\Delta -\mu$ is uniformly elliptic and has nonpositive zeroth-order coefficient. If $u(y)=0$ at an interior point, $u$ attains its nonnegative minimum there, so the strong minimum principle for elliptic operators gives $u\equiv 0$ on the connected ball $B_1$.
