Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people say that love is considered a condition for loyalty (wala'). Therefore, one who supports disbelievers but does not love them is not considered a loyalist unless he supports them and loves them.
Answer:
If love and support are combined, this is disbelief that takes one out of the religion. As for support without love, this is misguidance and a major sin. If love exists alone, without support, this is also misguidance and a means to support. Yes.
