To what extent is the fatwa of Sheikh Ali ibn Khudair Al-Khudair valid, which states that whoever loves democrats, parliamentarians, modernists, and nationalists is a disbeliever due to their leanings and beliefs, based on the verse: {O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. Some of them are allies of one another. And whoever takes them as allies among you - then indeed, he is one of them} (Quran 5:51), keeping in mind that democracy, parliamentarianism, modernism, and nationalism are not religions but political orientations, and that the issue of declaring someone a disbeliever is sensitive and should be referred to the community, and that the meaning of walayah (alliance/guardianship) in the verse refers to alliance for support and confederacy?
