Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Commercial dealings with disbelievers require that we laugh with them, gather with them, eat with them, and drink with them at times in order to conclude commercial matters. Is this considered a form of loyalty?
Answer:
Commercial matters are not considered a form of loyalty, but rather an exchange of interests. However, do not show them love; do not show them love and friendship. But deal with them within the limits of interests. Yes.
