Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How do I reconcile loving a wife from the People of the Book or disbelieving parents with hating them?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: How do I reconcile what I love?
The Shaykh:
No, you do not love disbelieving parents,[Al-Mujadila 58:22], you do not love them. If the parents are disbelievers, you do not love them, but you treat them well in the sense of repaying their kindness, because they were kind to you in raising you, looking after you, and feeding you when you were small, so you repay their kindness to them [Luqman 31:15]. Yes.

لَّا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْbut accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me
وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ
