Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Questions four and five from Fatwa No. ( 9406 ):
Q4: There are peoplewho go to cafes and clubs under the pretext of calling people to Allah.Is it permissible in the Shari'ah for a person to sit in the house of Satan and go to present Islam to those who do not want it, as their actions indicate, or what?
A4: If he hopes for good in them, he should sit with them to guide them to the truth and advise them of it, fulfilling the obligatory duty of conveying the message and establishing the proof against them, just as the
Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to attend the gatherings of the polytheists to call them to the truth. If they respond, praise be to Allah; otherwise, he should withdraw from them, to avoid their evil and stay away from what is wrong.
