Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on accompanying a disbeliever if he is a relative, traveling with him, and sitting with him?
Answer:
Accompanying him is a matter of worldly dealings. There is nothing wrong with that, but it must be accompanied by calling him to Allah, encouraging him to Islam, and not enabling him to display disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah).
Along with calling him to Allah the Exalted, and hating him for the sake of his religion—what he loves while he is a disbeliever, you love while he is a disbeliever[Al-Mujadila 58:22] Do not love him as long as he is a disbeliever. As for dealing with him in permissible worldly matters, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.

You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred
لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ
