Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: How is the one who commits a major sin to be treated in terms of love and hatred, and also in terms of dealing with him?
Answer:
The one who commits a major sin other than shirk (associating partners with Allah) is a believer, not a disbeliever. He is to be treated according to the faith he possesses and the disobedience he possesses. He is loved for the faith he has, so he is not hated. He is disliked for the disobedience he has, so he is not loved with pure love, nor hated with pure hatred. Rather, both are combined for him. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
