Is sympathizing with disbelievers and helping them in the disasters that befall them considered a form of loyalty to them?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is your view on Muslims who sympathize with disbelievers in the disasters or trials that befall them? Is this considered loyalty to them?

Answer:
No, the issue of providing aid to those struck by disaster and those in need, and being kind to them, if there is no hostility from them—meaning, if there are no treaties of interaction between them and the Muslims, but rather a neighborly relationship—then if they are afflicted and there is need and hunger among them, they should be helped in this. This is worldly interaction, not religious interaction. I am here; my food is unjust. And the clothing of the one who knows, and perhaps it may be a cause for calling to Allah the Exalted and for education, and that the religion of Islam is a religion of excellence and a religion of good for humanity.
