Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: If a person comes to us wanting to enter Islam, do we first ask him what he knows about Islam, or do we let him pronounce the two testimonies of faith without asking him what he knows about Islam?
Answer:
No. It is not necessary to ask him what he knows about Islam. If he comes wanting Islam, you order him to pronounce the two testimonies of faith, you order him to pray and pay zakah, and you explain the pillars of Islam to him. You explain and clarify things to him step by step. As for throwing questions at him and delaying his pronouncement of the two testimonies of faith, and perhaps he will be repelled by that, do not ask him about anything. Yes.
