The questioner:
Is it permissible to congratulate the Christians on their marriages?
The Shaykh:
No, meaning they do not congratulate them on their festivals, they do not congratulate them on their festivals. As for congratulating them on something permissible, such as a marriage or the occurrence of a blessing that befalls them, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
What Allah willed, may you be excused.
The Shaykh:
This is not from loyalty (al-wala'), this is from dealing with them, this is from dealing with them. Yes, as long as they have not wronged the Muslims, they fall under kindness.
