Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I live in a country that calls for freedom of religion, and I interact frequently with some Christians. How should I deal with them, given that they treat me well?
Answer:
Dealing with them in permissible matters, such as buying and selling, is fine. However, dealing with them in the sense of approving their state, praising what they are upon, and saying that all religions are the same—this is absolutely not permissible. This is not permissible. It is a compromise on the truth. Yes.
