Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What knowledge does the one who calls to Allah need, Honorable Shaykh? And is the call directed to everyone?
Answer:
The caller must be knowledgeable of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not permissible for an unlearned person, who is ignorant, to engage in calling to Allah while he is ignorant, because he may render something forbidden as lawful, render something lawful as forbidden, and issue rulings without knowledge. Yes.
