Question:
May Allah guide you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Is loving disbelievers, without assisting them against the Muslims, a major sin among the major sins, or is it kufr (disbelief) that expels one from the religion?
Answer:
You have previously stated that loving disbelievers, without any action against Islam and the Muslims, is haram (forbidden) and a major sin among the major sins. As for loving disbelievers along with supporting the disbelievers, affirming the disbelievers, and assisting them, this is explicit riddah (apostasy). Yes.
