To what extent is it sound to train oneself to love every Muslim monotheist, while remembering that everyone falls into sins? And if it is permissible to hate a Muslim for the sake of Allah, is it permissible to display this hatred? And is a person rewarded or condemned for their love or hatred of their sinful Muslim brother?

The outward manifestation, through abandonment and turning away, depends on what serves the greater good. Thus, it is shown to deter the person being abandoned from sins, if that indeed deters them; otherwise, it is not.
