The Ruling on Loyalty and Disavowal, and Hatred of the Jews and Christians

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on denying hatred for the sake of Allah and rejecting it from the religion of Allah? And is a person's Islam valid if he does not hate the Jews and Christians?

Answer:
Loyalty and disavowal are necessary. Loyalty is toward the enemies of Allah, and disavowal is from the enemies of Allah, and loyalty is at that time. Disavowal means separation, distancing oneself from them and their religion; this is disavowal. Loyalty means loving Allah, loving His Messenger, and loving His believing servants, supporting them and believing in them. You have in Ibrahim a good example, meaning a model, for him and those with him when he said to his people: "We are disavowed of you and of what you worship besides Allah." They disavowed them and their categories of worshipped things, and of what you worship besides Allah, we disbelieve in it. And between us and you is enmity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone.
It is not permissible to show loyalty to the disbelievers. As for the one who takes them as allies, Allah the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:51]
Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:51]
This matter is very serious. Loyalty and disavowal are two of the foundations of this religion; the religion is not valid with one of them without the other. Yes.
