Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does loyalty and disavowal toward the people of innovation fall within the content of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and its establishment?
Answer:
Loyalty and disavowal differ. There is one who hates and does not love, and that is the disbeliever and the one who associates partners with Allah; he hates and never loves. And among them is one who loves with pure love, and that is the believing monotheist, the awliya (close friends of Allah) the Exalted, the sincere to Allah the Exalted[An-Nisa 4:69] these are the ones who love with pure love. And among people is one who loves from one aspect and hates from another aspect; he loves for what is in him of faith and hates for what is in him of sins and violations. Yes. Take this with you: loyalty and disavowal are not on one level. Yes.
