Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on this statement: The Jews and Christians residing in the lands of Islam are our brothers in the homeland?
Answer:
No, they are not our brothers in the homeland. But if one says they are citizens, that is lighter. As for saying they are brothers, no, they are not brothers. Our brothers are the Muslims. As for these people, they are not our brothers, neither in the homeland nor elsewhere. Yes, but we say they are musta'min (non-Muslims granted safe conduct) or mu'ahidun (those under a treaty). Or if we are lenient, we say they are citizens. This is lighter than saying they are our brothers.
And in humanity, and in the homeland, Allah has distinguished between the Muslims and the disbelievers. Their origin is that they are all from Adam and Hawwa, all of them are the sons of Adam. And Allah has distinguished between them, He distinguished between them. Yes, so there is no brotherhood, there is no brotherhood except in faith. Yes.
