The Difference Between Assisting Disbelievers and Praising Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: You said, may Allah preserve you, that one who praises and extols disbelievers is showing that he loves them. Is it the same for one who assists disbelievers against Muslims?
The Shaykh:
The lesson was yesterday. Let’s do today’s lesson? Yes.
The questioner:
He says: You stated, may Allah preserve you, that one who praises and extols the disbelievers is showing evidence of his love for them. Is the one who assists the disbelievers against the Muslims like him?
The Shaykh:
Assisting is more severe than praising them. Allah mentioned that it is disbelief (kufr). The Shaykh says in the book you have with you that whoever shows support for the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) against the Muslims has committed disbelief. So showing support is more severe than praising and extolling.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
