The amount of knowledge that qualifies one to call others to Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : First. Peace be upon you. The second question is: What is the amount of knowledge that qualifies a person to call others to Allah the Exalted?

Answer : It has no fixed limit, because a person calls others to Allah with what he knows, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
God’s messenger as saying, “Pass on information from me, even if it is only a verseصلى الله عليه وسلم بلغوا عني ولو آية،
Mishkat al-Masabih 198
So the call is either that a person is qualified for it absolutely, which is the one who has much knowledge, or qualified in a limited way regarding specific issues, and in both cases a person calls according to his knowledge.
