Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we apply the belief of al-wala' wa al-bara' (loyalty and disavowal) according to the correct methodology regarding the wicked and those who commit major sins, the open sinners, knowing that they are Muslims?
Answer:
We have mentioned to you that the disobedient Muslim is loved for the faith he possesses, and hated for the sin he possesses. Love and hatred coexist in his case. He is not loved with pure love, nor hated with pure hatred. Yes.
