What is the ruling on advising every Muslim?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the ruling on giving advice obligatory, recommended, or a sunnah?
The Shaykh : First, what is the difference between recommended and sunnah? Or rather, excuse me.
The questioner : No, your child has a right.
The Shaykh : No, I want to say whether it is obligatory, recommended, or sunnah. Obligatory is correct, as opposed to sunnah, but recommended...
The questioner : Wrong, wrong.
The Shaykh : All right. It is obligatory. Giving advice is obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The questioner : Even if it is a matter that is within one's capacity.
The Shaykh : No, we are able to do so. All obligations are dropped due to inability. This has passed us in the organized rules. One advises every Muslim, and every Muslim is addressed in a manner befitting his condition, meaning that the advice given by one person to another differs. It is obligatory to advise every Muslim. It is obligatory for you to wish good for every Muslim.
