The Ruling on Loving Disbelieving Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are questions from the internet. A questioner from Belgium says: I am a man who embraced Islam, meaning I entered Islam, five years ago, and my parents are disbelievers. Am I sinful if I love them with a natural love?
Answer:
You should be kind to them by spending on them, calling them to Allah, and serving them, even if they are disbelievers. Dutifulness to a parent, even if he is a disbeliever, is obligatory.[Luqman 31:14] [Luqman 31:15] So, be kind to them and spend on them if they need it, serve them, and call them to Allah the Exalted and Mighty. As for love, no [Al-Mujadila 58:22]. Love is not permissible except for the people of faith. As for disbelievers, it is not permissible to love them, even if they are the closest people to you. As for dealing with them with kindness, that falls under the category of reciprocation. You reciprocate their kindness to you and their raising of you when you were small. This is a matter of reciprocation and returning a favor, which is more important than love.

And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.
وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَىٰ وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ فِي عَامَيْنِ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُBut if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness
وَإِن جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًاYou will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred
لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ
