Living with a Christian and the obligation toward him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A Christian lives with me, he says, and he says: A Christian lives with me.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
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 toward him?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for you to stay away from him and not live with him. Because he is an enemy of Allah and His Messenger, and an enemy to you. Living with him, being at ease with him, befriending him, and keeping him as a companion, this is incompatible with loyalty and disavowal. So you must stay away from him. And if he says to you, "My brother," say, "You are lying, you are not my brother. You are a brother of Satan, you are not my brother." Is it permissible to be lenient in these matters? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
