Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the criterion for establishing the proof against one who calls himself a Muslim but calls for aid from graves and commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah)? Is it sufficient for him to hear the Qur'an, or must he know it?
Answer:
[Al-An'am 6:19] As for if he is a non-Arab and does not understand the Arabic language, then it is necessary to explain to him the meaning of the Qur'an. Therefore, they have translated the tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an, and translations of the meanings of the Qur'an for non-Arabs now exist because they do not understand the Arabic language.

Answer:
And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.
وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ
