The ruling on saying “the other” for disbelievers instead of describing them as disbelievers

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on some people calling disbelievers “the other”?

Answer:
This is a form of covering up and blurring the religion. A disbeliever is not called “the other”; he is called a disbeliever. He is called a disbeliever. A Muslim is not called “the other”; a Muslim is called a Muslim. “The other” has no concept and no effect. But if one says “disbeliever,” the distinction is made between him and the Muslim. If one only says “the other,” no distinction is made. Muslims say, “So-and-so is the other,” or “So-and-so is the other.” The word “the other” does not convey what the name “disbeliever” conveys. Yes.
