Question:
The questioner says, may Allah bless you: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, "The believers are but brothers," how can the believers be brothers when they differ in their schools of jurisprudence and in other matters?
Answer:
The believers are brothers in faith, brothers in faith, a brotherhood of faith, and brotherhood in faith is stronger than brotherhood by blood.[Al-Hujurat 49:10] And in the hadith, the Muslim is the brother of the Muslim; he does not belittle him, nor does he leave him in distress, nor does he hand him over. Sahih Muslim 2564a Yes.
