The Call Outside the Islamic Lands

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, in your capacity as the head of the Department of Da'wah and Guidance, is there a basis for da'wah outside the Islamic lands, given that the Islamic lands are sick from within, as is observed and is the reality, and Allah is the Helper?

Answer:
Yes, da'wah to Allah is required. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called to Allah and sent delegations for da'wah to Allah. Madinah was the place of his mission, and it had hypocrites in it, and some polytheists. So da'wah to Allah is established both internally and externally. It should not be said, "As long as there is deficiency in our lands, we will not call those outside." No, we call both internally and externally. We are working on reforming the internal situation, and we strive to reform the internal situation, but that does not prevent da'wah outside. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent the well-known army to Khaybar, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was with them. He ordered its leader to proceed to the Jews and call them to Islam. Madinah had in it what it had of hypocrites and polytheists until Allah guided them and they embraced Islam. Some of them were expelled and driven out of Madinah, and banished to another direction.
