Is supporting disbelievers by aiding them considered major disbelief?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people provide money to certain disbelieving groups in political matters, not out of love for their victory over the Muslims, but they give them money and support them?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I fear, I fear that this is considered from loyalty (mawala), because it is a political matter. And what does political mean? Political means that the disbeliever triumphs over the believer? May Allah except a believer who is a hypocrite, meaning he pretends to have faith while he is an innovator who commits an innovation that entails disbelief, perhaps.
The questioner : A believing Shaykh...?
The Shaykh : In any case, we deal with people based on their outward appearance.
The questioner : Does he commit disbelief by this action?
The Shaykh : I do not know; I refrain from issuing a ruling on it. Come, Abdullah?
