The ruling on a Muslim’s natural love for a disbeliever

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is confusing to me the statement of some scholars that a Muslim does not love a disbeliever with natural love.

The Shaykh:
What do you love?

The questioner:
He does not love a disbeliever with natural love. A Muslim who marries a woman from the People of the Book loves her with natural love.

The Shaykh:
This is specific to a wife from the People of the Book. As for anyone else, the general rule remains that he does not love a disbeliever. A Muslim does not love a disbeliever. The issue of marrying a woman from the People of the Book is an exception; the Lawgiver made it an exception. Yes.
