Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people cite the words of the Exalted,[Al-A'la 87:9], as evidence for abandoning advice to one whom they know will not accept it. Is their citation correct?
Answer:
First, who is it that knows he will not accept it? Will Allah the Exalted guide him? Who knows this? Second, if this one does not accept it, another will, and the one to whom it reaches. Yes.
