Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, does alerting people to stand for night prayer include calling neighbors, for example, or sending a mobile message in which I write the hadith:[Fatir 35:3]?
Answer:
This does not wake them up; if you write it, the message does not wake them up. They need something to wake them up. They need something to wake them up from sleep. If you send a hundred messages, they will not wake up. But if you speak to them on the mobile or the telephone, or call out to them, that is what wakes them up. Yes.
