Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This session features a connection between students of knowledge and the firmly grounded scholars. What is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the division of loyalty and disavowal? Is the Shari'ah methodology for dealing with those who are afflicted with innovations and a deviant methodology complete disavowal from them as individuals and from their methodology, and the absolute abandonment of their loyalty, or is that not the case? Or does it vary according to the situation?
Answer:
No, there are those who say that you disavow the religion of the disbelievers but do not disavow the disbelievers as individuals. This is a false statement, because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, mentioned regarding Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and his people that they[Al-Mumtahanah 60:4], so they disavowed them and their religion. To disavow their religion while being loyal to them and loving them is a false statement. Yes.
So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:1], [Al-Mumtahanah 60:1]. Therefore, it is not permissible to be loyal to the disbelievers, neither in their persons nor in their religion. Disavowal from them all is what came in the Qur'an. Distinguishing between the one who holds the religion and the religion itself is a false statement with no basis; it is a division without evidence. Yes.

they said to their people, "Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah
قَالُوا لِقَوْمِهِمْ إِنَّا بُرَآءُ مِنكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِSo Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَdo not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah, your Lord
لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُم مِّنَ الْحَقِّ يُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ أَن تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ
