Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do we hate the states of disbelief that oppose the Muslims, both their government and their people, or only the government, since the people are powerless to control their own affairs?
Answer:
We hate the disbelievers in general, rulers and ruled alike, whether one is a ruler or a subject. We hate them for their disbelief, or because of their hostility toward the believers, or because they have transgressed against the Muslims. In fact, we hate them for their disbelief and their hostility to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He,[Al-Mumtahanah 60:1] and their death, so we hate them for their disbelief, not merely for their transgression.
