Muslims in the West: One of them issued a fatwa stating that they must love their disbelieving president?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We are young men residing in one of the European countries, and some people have issued a fatwa for us stating that we must love our president who rules that country, even though he is a disbeliever. He said, "You should love him with a natural love." What is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
This is empty talk. This is from al-wala' (loyalty). This is from al-mawala' (alliance). It is not permissible for a Muslim to love a disbeliever, even if the disbeliever treats him well; he does not love him, but rather he rewards him with a reward only. He rewards him for his kindness, but he does not love him with his heart. Therefore, a disbelieving father is required to be treated with dutifulness by his son in the sense of rewarding him, and he does not love him in his heart. He hates him for his disbelief, and he treats him with dutifulness because he is his father and has a right over him. Yes.
