Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Many doctors are lenient regarding the issue of disavowing disbelievers, and you find them speaking with complete ease and outside the scope of their work with a disbeliever doctor?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to interact with a disbeliever in matters of this world and the interests of this world, and to ask him about matters of this world, about medical matters, and about the experiences of this world. There is nothing wrong with that, as it is seeking his help and benefiting from him. However, it is not permissible to love him in the heart, and it is not permissible to have affection for him in the heart. As for asking him about matters of this world, benefiting from his experiences, and buying and selling with him, or the like of that, there is nothing wrong with it.
