The ruling on declaring a disbeliever who has not received the call to be a disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people say that some of the disbelievers who exist today have not been presented with the proof, so we do not declare them disbelievers until we establish the proof against each person individually. How do we respond to that?
Answer:
So convey it to them. You are saying that it did not reach them, so convey it to them. Why are you silent and saying that the call did not reach them? That is one aspect. The second aspect is that I do not think there is anyone on the face of the earth to whom the call has not reached, especially after the development of media, rapid transportation, and the mixing of the world. The Qur'an is recited on the radio, in recordings, and on the air, and I do not think there is anyone to whom it has not reached, who has not heard the Qur'an, and to whom the call of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has not reached. Thus, the proof has been established against all creation by this. Yes.
