The answer

Islamic law encourages kindness to all people. While a Muslim is not obligated to reconcile with a non-Muslim, it is an act of kindness to forgive them and treat them with courtesy, without taking them as a friend. This is based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "Do not associate except with a believer, and let none eat your food except the pious," and his saying: "A man is upon the religion of his intimate friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends." This is because a person is influenced by their companion, and one should choose a companion who possesses good character and religious devotion.
