Calling a close relative and the difficulty in doing so
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner asks about calling a close relative to the faith, stating that he finds it difficult.
The Shaykh:
Even if the opportunity exists.
The questioner:
Because he finds it difficult, so if the call comes from afar, it is better and more effective in giving advice. So what is your advice to him?
The Shaykh:
Change the two approaches: you call your relative, and you also bring him callers from among the brothers, or you instruct one of the brothers to call him as if you had not contacted him, as if he came without a motive. Let him call him. In other words, change all means to guide this relative, so that perhaps Allah will guide him through you or through another of the brother callers.
