Question:
One of them says that Allah has granted the Muslims a dispensation to be affectionate toward disbelievers, except for those who are at war with them, and he cites as evidence for this the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:7] Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Is this a lie about Allah? I ask[Al-Mumtahanah 60:7] meaning that they should submit, that they should submit and become among the loved ones of the Muslims. And this has happened: they submitted, their Islam was good, and they became among the special ones of the Muslims. Yes.
One of them says that Allah has granted the Muslims a dispensation to be affectionate toward disbelievers, except for those who are at war with them, and he cites as evidence for this the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Perhaps Allah will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies among them, affection
عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةًAnswer:
Is this a lie about Allah? I ask
Allah will put, between you and those to whom you have been enemies among them, affection. And Allah is competent
اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةً وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ
