The Ruling on Conveying the Argument Against Disbelief and Who Bears the Responsibility for It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah forgive you. May Allah teach us, and praise be to Allah. The criterion for establishing the argument against one who has fallen into disbelief is by conveying it. Is this matter dependent on the scholars, or is it within the capability of the one who conveys it? I hope for an answer with the mention of the evidence?

Answer:
Yes, conveying the argument is achieved by conveying it, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ
[Al-An'am 6:19]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
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 conveying is obligatory. Then, if the one who conveys understands the speech, his conveying is sufficient. But if the one who conveys does not understand the speech because he is a non-Arab and does not understand the Arabic language, it is necessary to explain the speech to him and translate it for him. It is necessary to translate it for him so that he understands its meaning. And every one who conveys is according to his capability. Yes, the scholar must convey according to his knowledge, and the layperson conveys according to his capability. Yes, he calls to Islam according to his capability. Yes.
