The questioner:
If a person calls to something from the permissible or recommended matters, but he is unable to practice it, does he fall under the hadith
The Shaykh:
If.
The questioner:
If a person calls to something permissible or recommended, but he is unable to do it, does he fall under the hadith of the Hereafter?
The Shaykh:
This does not apply to him because he is excused, and Allah the Exalted says[Al-Baqarah 2:286] and He the Exalted says [At-Taghabun 64:16] The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When I command you to do something, do it to the best of your ability." So if he leaves off part of what he calls to in obedience because he is legally incapable of it, he is excused.
And he does not fall under the warning. The one who falls under the warning is the one who leaves off something while he is capable of it, out of aversion to it, lack of love for doing good, and laziness in obeying his soul. This is the one who falls under the warning, the one who is not excused. As for the one who is excused, there is no blame on him,[Al-Hajj 22:78] [Al-Baqarah 2:185].
