Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: May Allah reward you. Is it permissible to say "O my brother" to a disbeliever? We ask Allah for well-being. "O my brother" to a disbeliever.

Answer:
This is not permissible. This is not your brother. This is not your brother. The believers are only brothers to one another. The believers are not brothers to the disbelievers. Yes, he may be his brother in lineage only. He was their brother in lineage, and Hud was their brother in religion. Yes.
