Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Does attaching oneself to disbelievers, praising their glory, admiring their work, and eulogizing them in this regard count as being loyal to them?
Answer:
Yes, this is admiration for them and praise of them. It is not permissible to praise disbelievers or eulogize them, because Allah has censured them. Allah has censured them and cursed them, so how can you praise them and eulogize them? This is hostility toward Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They are the enemies of Allah; to praise the enemies of Allah. Yes.
