The ruling on calling members of the American forces to Islam

Question:
My question to your eminence is that there are some brothers in the Eastern Region who are calling members of the American forces stationed there to Islam. They gather with them and discuss with them, and many of them have embraced Islam. These brothers believe that this is obligatory upon them as a matter of da'wah (calling others to Islam), advice, and establishing the proof against them. However, some others disagree with them, arguing for the necessity of keeping away from these members of the forces, not contacting them, and not calling them, considering this to be a matter of al-wala' wa al-bara' (loyalty and disavowal). My question, Honorable Shaykh, is what is your opinion on this matter, and which of the two groups do you see as being on the right path? May Allah grant you success and reward you?

Answer:
The matter in this is clear. The first group, those who are engaged in calling to Allah and calling the disbelievers to Islam, are the ones who are correct and on the truth. Therefore, mixing with these people for the purpose of calling them to Islam.
, this is obligatory upon the Muslims. Does Islam mean that a person submits and sits doing nothing? No, Islam means that you work and also call; you work on yourself and call to Islam. This is an opportunity; this is an opportunity for da'wah to these armies and entering among them, simply calling them to Islam. This is a great opportunity. As for those who fail to support this, they are not on the right path. And as for their claim that this is a matter of al-wala' wa al-bara', that is an error. We did not go to them for the sake of loving them, but rather we went to them for the sake of calling them to Islam. The one who mixes with them and does not call them is the one who thinks he loves them. The one who mixes with them and calls them to Islam is the one who is fulfilling his obligation. Yes.
