The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what are the types of love? And is the love of a child for his disbelieving father forbidden or prescribed?
The Shaykh:
The types of love are ten degrees. The highest degree of love is khalah (intimate friendship). The love of a Muslim father for his disbelieving son is a matter of natural affection. However, if he loves him from the perspective of religion, that is not permissible. Religious love is not permissible. Loving him for the sake of his religion is not permissible. But loving him with natural affection, which is the dictate of nature, a person is not held accountable for that. That is not part of the religion. It is the nature of humans that one is inclined toward his relative, inclined toward his wife who is a People of the Book, inclined toward her; this is a natural gift. Yes.
