Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It is mentioned in the hadith My question to you, Honorable Shaykh, is: Does this include the one who opposes the wali for his person only, and not for following what Allah has commanded and what His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded?
Answer:
If he opposes him for his person, that is a desire, that is a matter of desire, and his enmity is not for the sake of Allah, but rather for the sake of desire. This is a major one of the major sins, a major one of the major sins. This is one who has taken his desire as his god; he loves for the sake of his desire, he hates for the sake of his desire, he gives for the sake of his desire, and he withholds for the sake of his desire. This is one who has taken his desire as his god. This is a severe danger. Yes.
