Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8], is this verse general for all disbelievers? Or is it specific to the disbeliever who is with us and has kinship with us?
Answer:
This is, as He said[Al-Mumtahanah 60:8], general for everyone who possesses this characteristic: that he does not fight the Muslims and does not expel the Muslims from their homes or uproot them from their lands, as is the case with the disbelievers now, who uproot the Muslims from their homes and houses. If the disbeliever has this characteristic, one is to be good to him in this world. As for love in the heart, no, one does not love him as long as he remains in disbelief. But one rewards him for his kindness by keeping his evil away from the Muslims. Yes.
