Is it better to give the one invited to Islam a chance to think, or should he enter Islam and then think about it afterwards?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question from Britain: Some disbelievers in our country want to enter Islam and have a desire to do so, but they say they need time to think about this matter. His question is: Do we give them this opportunity and this time? Or do we tell them to enter in this state and then think about it later?

Answer:
Explain to them what Islam is. They do not need to think if you explain it to them and it becomes clear to them; they do not need to think if they are sincere and want the truth. But if they are stalling, then there is no way to deal with them. Yes.
