Be Just, Even if You Hate Him
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Don’t let your hatred for a person stop you from being just with him, [from your being] balanced and fair in your judgments upon him.
And watch out that you don’t block him from [getting any] right of his, or [that] you take steps to cause him harm, as a means of getting release for what’s in your soul; that’s reprehensible. And more reprehensible than that would be your dressing up your nasty dealings in religious clothing and [a pretense of] jealous protectiveness over Islamic law.
You would then have fallen into acts of oppression, and how could you possibly get yourself out of that other than through true, correct repentance?

لا يمنعك بغضك لفلان أن تكون منصفا معه، عدلا في الحكم عليه.
وإياك أن تمنعه حقا هو له، أو تسعى في ضرره، تشفيا لما في نفسك، فذلك قبيح، وأقبح منه أن تُلبس سوء تعاملك لباس الدين، والغيرة الشرعية.
فقد وقعت بذلك في مظالم، أنى لك أن تخرج منها إلا بالتوبة الصحيحة الصادقة.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) October 27, 2021
