Question:
If the meaning of *wala'* is love and closeness, is that the meaning of the *wala'* mentioned in the noble verse: [Al-Anfal: 72]? Does Allah forbid the *wala'* of the believers who did not emigrate?
Answer:
*Wala'* is used to mean closeness; so-and-so is the *mawla* of so-and-so, meaning: his relative. [Ad-Dukhan: 41] means a relative to his relative. *Wala'* is also used to mean love, kindness, support, and the like. It is said: so-and-so showed *wala'* to so-and-so, meaning: he supported him, aided him, and loved him.
The intent of this prohibition is regarding love and support. As for kinship, it does not harm him. If his relative was his brother, or his father, or his son, it does not harm him. The important thing is that he hates him for the sake of Allah, and it does not harm him. It did not harm the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Abu Lahab was his uncle and that Abu Talib was his uncle, and they both died upon disbelief and misguidance. It did not harm Ibrahim that his father was a disbeliever; it did not harm Ibrahim.
The intended meaning : The harm lies in their *wala'* and love. As for their kinship, it does not harm a person. What harms him is that he shows them *wala'*, and loves them while they are upon their disbelief and misguidance.
If the meaning of *wala'* is love and closeness, is that the meaning of the *wala'* mentioned in the noble verse:
But those who believed and did not emigrate - for you there is no guardianship of them until they emigrate
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يُهَاجِرُوا مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ وَلَايَتِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى يُهَاجِرُواAnswer:
*Wala'* is used to mean closeness; so-and-so is the *mawla* of so-and-so, meaning: his relative.
The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَنْ مَوْلًى شَيْئًاThe intent of this prohibition is regarding love and support. As for kinship, it does not harm him.
