The participation of disbelievers in eating and drinking and its relation to loyalty and disavowal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: This is a questioner from Russia who says: Because there are few Muslims here, we usually do not share food and drink with disbelievers, and we speak with them. Do these things contradict loyalty and disavowal?
Answer:
No, this is not part of loyalty and disavowal, which is love and hatred. So do not love the disbelievers, but hate them; that is loyalty and disavowal. As for eating from what is permissible with them, and buying and selling with them, which is permissible, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
