Hatred of the non-combative disbeliever and citing the verse from Surat al-Mumtahanah as evidence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: There is one who claims that the non-combating disbeliever is not hated for his person, but only for his disbelief, citing the verse:[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8].
Answer:
This is a false argument. We do not love the disbelievers, even if they are kind to us; we do not love them. However, we reciprocate their kindness if they are kind to us; we reward them for their good conduct.[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8] This means: be kind to them and be just with them, treating them with fairness. [Al-Ma'idah 5:42] This is a matter of reciprocation, not love. It is merely a reward for their actions, in that they did not harm the Muslims.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: There is one who claims that the non-combating disbeliever is not hated for his person, but only for his disbelief, citing the verse:
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes
لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْAnswer:

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them
لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْIndeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
