The Ruling on Loving a Disbelieving Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He sent a message to you and says: How do I reconcile loving my wife, who is a People of the Book, with hating her, because she is a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
This is a natural marital love; it is not a religious love. It is a natural love, not a religious love. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:
The Shaykh:
You do not love your disbelieving wife for the sake of her religion. If you love her for the sake of her religion, you have lost. But you love her for the sake of the marriage, a natural love only. Yes.
