What is the ruling on hating parents and in-laws for Allah's sake due to their actions that violate Sharia?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Hating a disobedient Muslim is not permissible absolutely. Rather, he should be hated for his disobedience and loved for his obedience, because one person can have both good deeds and bad deeds, so he is praised and blamed. If the hatred is for committing evil deeds, without neglecting their rights, then this is just. However, absolute hatred is not permissible, and a Muslim should be moderate in his feelings and supplicate with wisdom.
