Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does hating the disbeliever necessitate harming him, oppressing him, mistreating him, and taking his wealth?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. There are treaties that must be honored. If there is a covenant between the Muslims and the disbelievers, it is not permissible for us to take their wealth, insult their children, or do any of these things. We must honor the covenant[Al-Isra 17:34] even if it is between the Muslims and the disbelievers. Yes.
