Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, is it permissible for me to take them as my companions on a journey?
Answer:
No. That is, you would be alone with them, and you would no longer feel safe with them after having felt safe with them. If you have a group of Muslims with you and they are walking with you, there is no harm. But if they are alone with you and you are by yourself with them, that is not permissible, because they are enemies. Yes.
