Is there no benefit to discussing the matter without going on rounds to the places of riba (usury or interest)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: There is no benefit in discussing this topic from the pulpits without going on rounds to the known places of riba (usury or interest). Thank you. Is this your opinion?

Answer:
Exhorting one another to truth, you must exhort one another to truth; it is obligatory to exhort one another to truth. Have you not heard Allah say about the messengers:
upon you is only [the duty of] notificationإِنْ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:48]
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and the Exalted and Majestic said:
So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ
[An-Nahl 16:35]
The scholars are the successors of the messengers, and you must convey the clear message. It is not for us to give you beneficial knowledge and insight.
