Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding loyalty to the sinner, and do they sit with sinners and greet them?
Answer:
There is pure enmity, and there is enmity that is not pure; enmity from one aspect and love from another. The disbeliever, the one who associates partners with Allah, and the hypocrite are treated with pure enmity because he is an enemy of Allah. You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day who fulfill their duties toward one who opposes Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kin.
As for the believer who has some sins, he is loved for what he has of religion and disliked for what he has of sins.
Love and dislike coexist regarding him. He is treated with enmity from one aspect and loyalty from another. That is, he is shown loyalty on the side of the oneness of Allah and the fact that he is a Muslim, and he is treated with enmity on the side of the sins, along with advising him, perhaps Allah will guide him.
