Question : Did you hear what he said? He says: A man entered the home of a person who has images in his house for the purpose of da'wah (calling to Islam). Is that permissible or not?
Answer : The answer is yes, it is permissible. It is permissible to enter for the sake of da'wah, but one should not settle there unless the situation requires it. For example, if one needs to build a relationship with him and sit with him before saying these words to him. As for sitting there—some people say, "I will sit with him, I will visit for five days, ten days, I will visit and sit, eat with him, drink with him, and get comfortable with him," so that after ten days I can say to him, "So-and-so, look, patience is not permissible." This is not patience. But to the extent of the da'wah only, there is no harm.
