Question

If we praise the kafirs, will it be kufr?

Answer

If you are praising him for something valid then it is permissible. For example, you say that this doctor is good for surgery.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
