The Kingdom’s Role in Serving the Call to Allah the Exalted

Question:
Yes. May Allah keep you alive. May Allah greet you with goodness. May He protect you, care for you, and maintain security and stability for us. Amen, amen. And to those who do not love or approve. We love you, our scholars, and we appreciate you, and we thank Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, that we see you and receive your questions. Our Shaykh, in the villages and outskirts of Ta’if, people come to us calling to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. They do not touch politics, nor do they mean to call in a way that… they call, they encourage people, and they urge them toward good morals. They come to us and we receive them. Some people say, “I do not know what is wrong with them,” and that the scholars warn against them. And, by Allah, I do not know about them. We want to take your opinion, may Allah be pleased with you, regarding the group of Tabji’r that is mentioned. Thank you.

Answer:
By Allah, my brother, praise be to Allah, the government has not fallen short. It has appointed preachers and established the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance. So the call is restricted to these people, and no one else is permitted to call, because this leads to conflict in the dawah. These others may also be unqualified for the dawah, and their beliefs and what they call people to are unknown. Praise be to Allah, the state has appointed qualified preachers who travel and call to Allah and teach the people; in them is good, if Allah wills. Yes.
