Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: Is there a difference between al-tawalli (loyalty) and al-muwalah (alliance)?
The Shaykh:
We have not found any difference between them. Whoever takes them as allies is one of them.
The presenter:
Thank you for that.
The Shaykh:
Al-tawalli and al-muwalah mean the same thing; both are verbal nouns. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. And this questioner says:
The Shaykh:
So al-tawalli is the verbal noun of tawalla (to take as an ally), and al-muwalah is the verbal noun of walla (to be loyal to). Both are verbal nouns derived from the same root, which is loving the disbelievers. Yes.
