The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the meaning of al-hilf? Is it specific to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance?
The Shaykh:
They form alliances for mutual support so that they may support one another. Yes.
The questioner:
Is it specific to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, or is it permissible after Islam?
