Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, and you said that no one should belittle himself by not calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) when he returns to his country. What is the criterion in this matter? Some people, when we go, say: Do not call to Allah until you obtain a specific permission from the scholars that you are on the right path in da'wah (calling to Islam). How is that?
Answer:
Call to Allah to the extent of your ability, to what you are capable of. Yes.
