Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My brother calls to prayer in a village in one of the mosques, and it may be the Fajr prayer, but no one comes to him. What is obligatory for him? Knowing that the other mosques are far from him. He advises them and reminds them of Allah and preaches to them, hoping that their hearts will come to life and they will come. He tries with them.
Answer:
He tries with them through advice and preaching. He conveys to them the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He tells them: You are Muslims who seek salvation, so obey Allah and His Messenger. Attend the prayer. He clarifies this to them, hoping that Allah will guide them. If there is an authority that can take hold of them, he goes to those who can summon them, makes a covenant with them, and obliges them to pray. Yes.
