The Ruling on Mentioning Stories in Da'wah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner, Abu Ibrahim, and the honorable scholar ask: What is the ruling on mentioning moving stories in da'wah, and is this a method of encouraging people?
The Shaykh:
One should not persist in doing this, nor go beyond it; it is not appropriate. This da'wah is to be done with Qur'anic verses and Prophetic hadiths. If stories are interspersed that contain a lesson and are established and authentic, that is the reason for it, but one should not overdo the stories and leave out the texts and evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. Also, one should not bring stories that are not established, or are imagined, or are false; he should not bring them. He says this in order to affect the people; he does not narrate and does not know except by something established.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He also asks, Honorable Shaykh: In Ramadan, about two or three minutes before the adhan, and that was a mistake on my part, do I have to repeat the fast for that time? Yes.
