Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: There is one who claims that calling to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is not obligatory in lands of tawhid, because the people know tawhid; rather, they need to learn the other matters of the rulings of the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law).
Answer:
If you were to ask him what tawhid is, he would not be able to answer you. Does he say that everyone knows tawhid? If we were to ask him about the meaning of tawhid and its details, he would not be able to answer. Learning is necessary. What is the call if its proponents do not establish proofs for it? They are mere claimants. Yes. Learning is necessary. Knowledge is necessary. Receiving it from the scholars is necessary. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh.
