Leaving Some Dawah Activities During the Study of Sacred Law
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I am a student. I have completed a diploma in Islamic sciences, and then I enrolled in the College of Sharia, but I have not graduated yet. However, opportunities for work in the field of da'wah (calling others to Islam) sometimes come up, and I refuse some of them because I am busy with my studies. Will I be sinful for doing so?
The Shaykh:
No, you will be rewarded. This is the correct approach. Complete your education. Learn first, and then call people to Allah after you finish your studies and have acquired knowledge. Then you will engage in da'wah with knowledge and understanding. Yes.
The questioner:
What is the obligatory limit for me in da'wah in general?
The Shaykh:
Your ability. That is, you should be able to call people to Allah the Exalted and Majestic with wisdom, good exhortation, and the best kind of argument. But this is after you have learned the sacred knowledge. A person does not call others while he is ignorant. No. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
