Calling to Allah: Between Individual Obligation and Collective Obligation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is calling to Allah in this time an individual obligation (fard 'ayn) on every capable person, or is it a collective obligation (fard kifayah)?
Answer:
If enough people perform it, it is a collective obligation. But if no one performs it and a person has the capability, and no one else is doing it, then it is an individual obligation on him. Yes.
