Loyalty and Disavowal and Social Media Accounts That Raise Doubts

Question:
This is a question from a student affiliated with the Scientific Institute in Harib. He says: Social media accounts, or accounts on social media platforms, have multiplied, and they raise doubts regarding loyalty and disavowal, and belonging to the land of Islam, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to those in authority. What is your Eminence’s guidance?

Answer:
Loyalty and disavowal are among the foundations of this religion. Loyalty to the awliya (close friends of Allah), supporting the awliya, loving them and standing by them, and disavowing the disbelievers, those who associate partners with Allah, and the enemies of the people of the religion. The religion does not stand firm except with loyalty and disavowal. The one who has no loyalty and disavowal has no religion and no distinction. What is the distinction? It is that you distinguish between the truth and falsehood, between the Muslim and the disbeliever, between the enemy and the friend. It is a distinction from Allah in your heart, due to your mindfulness of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for the person for whom all people are the same, this is like the proverb they say in the common saying: “If all people are the same to you, then there is no cure for your ailment.” Yes.
