Question:
A questioner says: Is it obligatory for us to support the Muslims, even if what befalls them is due to their sins?
Answer:
Yes,[Al-Hujurat 49:10], and a Muslim helps his brother, Sunan an-Nasa'i 2560Sahih (Darussalam), he interlaced his fingers (peace and blessings be upon him), Sahih Muslim 2586a, so the believers are brothers; what pleases them pleases their brothers, and what hurts them hurts their brothers.

The believers are but brothers

تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمىThe presenter:
