Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it a condition for the argument to reach a person that he knows the interpretation of the Qur'an and the Sunnah and their meaning, or is it sufficient to convey them as text?
Answer:
If it is in Arabic, it suffices for it to reach them as a text to warn you,[Al-An'am 6:19]. If it is in Arabic, the Arab understands the Qur'an in general, even if he does not know all the meanings of the Qur'an, but in general, it is an Arabic Qur'an that addresses him, saying, [An-Nisa 4:36]. This is one who does not know the meaning; even the common people do not know the meaning. "Indeed, shirk (associating partners with Allah) is great injustice." No one is ignorant of this. What is this? But if it becomes a non-Arab who does not know the meaning, [Luqman 31:13], he does not understand it, so it is translated for him. Yes.

Answer:
If it is in Arabic, it suffices for it to reach them as a text to warn you,
And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.
وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَWorship Allah and associate nothing with Him
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًاdo not associate [anything] with Allah. Indeed, association [with him] is great injustice."
لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ
