Living with a Christian and Being Friendly with Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: A Christian man lives with me, and he says to me, “My brother, we are brothers,” and he eats and drinks with us. Is this permissible, and what is my duty in responding?
Answer:
The obligatory condition is that you do not live with him. Because he is an enemy of Allah and His Messenger, and an enemy to you. Being equal to him, supporting him, befriending him, and associating with him, this is not compatible with loyalty and disavowal. So you must stay away from him. And if he says to you, "Are you sane?" you say, "No, I am not sane. I am insane for Satan, I am not sane for you." Also, this is an opening for these matters. Yes.
