Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that faith-based fatherhood is stronger and tighter than blood-based fatherhood. I love the scholars more than I love my relatives, such as my father and my mother, and I defend them. So, am I among those about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “A person is with whom he loves”?
Answer:
Yes, a person is with whom he loves. If you love the believers, you are with them, and if you love the disbelievers, you are with them. This is the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
