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?

Modernism is a Western, secular intellectual doctrine that aims to abolish the sources of religion and demolish religious, moral, and human values under the pretext of antiquity, in order to establish a life based on permissiveness and chaos. As for Arab nationalism, it is a fanatical political and intellectual movement that calls for glorifying Arabs and establishing a state for them based on blood, language, and history instead of religion. These doctrines contradict Islam and lead to the rejection of the rule of the Qur'an, as Sheikh Ibn Baz mentioned. Previous fatwas have shown that democracy also contradicts Islam in its Western philosophy, and that parliamentarians who legislate in a manner contrary to Allah's law are considered to have overstepped their bounds.

Whoever believes that a guidance or ruling other than Islam is more complete, better, or equal to it, or permits seeking judgment from it, or believes that the Islamic Sharia (definition) is not suitable for this era, or that some people are permitted to deviate from it, is a disbeliever. This is one of the nullifiers of Islam.

The issue of takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) is sensitive and should only be discussed by well-grounded scholars. It is not necessary to refer to a group; a qualified individual is permitted to speak on it. One must not hasten to judge those who favor these doctrines until their understanding of them is ascertained, as they may be ignorant of their true nature.
