The Ruling on Associating with a Disbeliever Who Is a Relative

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. The questioner says: Al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) stated in his tafsir, *Fath al-Qadir*, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severeعَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ
[At-Tahrim 66:6]
He said: "They are harsh toward the people of the Fire and severe with them; they do not show them mercy when they seek mercy." Then he said after that: "Because Allah the Exalted created them from His anger. Because the angels become angry for the anger of Allah Mighty and Majestic, and Allah has become angry with the people of the Fire; they become angry for the anger of Allah." What is the ruling on accompanying a disbeliever if he is a relative, and traveling with him and sitting with him? Accompanying him is a matter of worldly dealings; what is the way to do that? But with calling him to Allah, encouraging him to Islam, and not enabling him to... Yes. To [do] the obscenity, disbelief, and shirk (associating partners with Allah). With calling them to Allah the Exalted and Glorious. With hating him for the sake of His religion. You do not find [him] saying the words of the believers in Allah.

Answer:
and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messengerوَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
[Al-Mujadila 58:22]

even if they were their fathersوَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ
[Al-Mujadila 58:22]
. Music. Or their brothers. Or their kin, you do not befriend him as long as he is a disbeliever. And Allah. Yes. Deal with him in matters of benefit. They love. Order. Except he does not believe.
