Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Also, some say that one of the causes of the emergence of the Khawarij in our lands is the existence of unemployment and the failure of the lands to implement the Shari'ah, and because of loyalty to the disbelievers. How do we respond to these doubts?
The Shaykh:
This is a false statement. Does the country not implement the Shari'ah? Or is there not a Shari'ah court in every neighborhood, every village, and every province, with its doors open for people to seek judgment by the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and with judges? This is a lie about this country. The country, praise be to Allah, implements the Shari'ah. We do not say it is one hundred percent free of errors, but in general, it implements the Shari'ah, and praise be to Allah. And what else? It does not implement the Shari'ah, what?
The questioner:
Also, regarding the implementation of the Shari'ah and the cause of loyalty to the disbelievers.
The Shaykh:
Regarding loyalty to the disbelievers: dealing with the disbelievers is a different matter. Islam has permitted us to deal with the disbelievers, and indeed, it has permitted us to be kind to them if they do not wrong the Muslims. We are kind to the disbelievers as a reward for their good conduct. Dealing with them is one thing, and loyalty is another. Dealing with them in matters of mutual benefit is permissible, and Muslims need it. However, love in the hearts is the forbidden thing that is not permissible. So, you deal with him in matters of mutual benefit, but you hate him in terms of creed, in terms of religion, you hate him.
