Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this, O questioner, he says: What is your opinion on what is called interfaith dialogue?
Answer:
There is no dialogue between religions, but calling to Islam and explaining the invalidity of what is other than it is an obligatory duty. If the intention behind the dialogue is to clarify that Islam is the true religion, and that what is other than it is either an invalid religion or a religion that has been abrogated and ended by the religion of Islam, and if this is the purpose of the dialogue, then this is a good dialogue, and this is called the dialogue of da'wah (calling to Islam), yes.
