The questioner:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on those to whom the call to Allah the Exalted has not reached? Are they considered among the people of the period of ignorance (al-fatra)? And what is their ruling in this world?
The Shaykh:
Their affair is left to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I am a student of knowledge, but sometimes I fall short in memorizing the texts.
The Shaykh:
But, I mean, to complete the point: the call to Allah has now reached every place on earth through the media and radio stations, except for remote areas where neither sound nor anything else reaches. And it appears that these are few. But the call has reached many places through the radio. What about the adhan? Where does the adhan of the Sacred Precinct (al-Haram) reach now? Where does the prayer of the Sacred Precinct reach now? It has reached, I mean. Yes.
