لا يتخذ المؤمنون الكافرين أولياء من دون المؤمنين ۖ ومن يفعل ذلك فليس من الله في شيء إلا أن تتقوا منهم تقاة ۗ ويحذركم الله نفسه ۗ وإلى الله المصير

اٰلِ عِمْرَان

Al Imran

لَا یَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اَوْلِیَآءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَلَیْسَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ فِیْ شَیْءٍ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَتَّقُوْا مِنْهُمْ تُقٰىةًؕ-وَ یُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسَهٗؕ-وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ الْمَصِیْرُ(28)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Muslims should not befriend disbelievers instead of believers; and whosoever does this has no bond with Allah except if you fear something from them. And Allah warns you of His Wrath. And to Allah is the return.[1]

Commentary

[1]

Friendship with disbelievers is unlawful; making them confidants and forging a close bond with them is also prohibited. However, if there is a genuine danger to life or wealth, then one may only maintain apparent ties; meaning, there is permission for apparent ties but not concealing one’s faith and making deceit part of creed or faith. In fact, even in the case of permissibility, it is better to firmly oppose falsehood without the fear of death.
