Question:
He asks: Is there a difference between al-wala' wa al-bara' (loyalty and disavowal) toward disbelievers and accommodating them with some concessions to ward off their harm and preserve the interests of the Muslims?
Answer:
Accommodation is prescribed if it is necessary. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:28] except that you fear them. Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: [An-Nahl 16:106] so the one who is coerced is not held accountable. Likewise, if the Muslims are compelled to accommodate the disbelievers to ward off their harm, there is nothing wrong with that to the extent of the necessity.

Answer:
Accommodation is prescribed if it is necessary. Allah the Exalted said:
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers
لَّا يَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَWhoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith
مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ إِيمَانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ
