Interpreting Love by Its Necessary Implication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue of Shaykh Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding interpreting [love] by its necessary implication: is it correct? That is, it is said that the love of Allah is established, and its counterpart is the love of the believers, especially since some of the Salaf stated that Shaykh Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) interpreted it by its necessary implication. So is it permissible to say this?
Answer:
Yes, among the fruits of love is that Allah loves the believers, so He rewards them. He rewards them, recompenses them, and honors them. This is without doubt; love is never without a fruit. Yes.
