The questioner : Now, what is the error in this going out?
The Shaykh : The error is that I did not hear!
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The error is that I did not hear. What did you hear from me just now?
The questioner : I heard that the intended meaning was that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go out.
The Shaykh : Fine.
The questioner : ... But their environment was different from our environment now. For example, I am a doctor, I am an engineer, I am a carpenter, I am a blacksmith. You know, everyone goes to the mosque, but... when we go out for... three days or a week or... days, we devote ourselves. It is well known that everyone has... So when I devote myself away from my home, because I am... the mosque may be that my mind is in... for example... and we are all like this. So when I devote myself for a week... the first thing I benefit from is that I benefit, I learn, from the... from me? Then, when we go out, we find people who do not pray. For example, we are talking in a mosque, and someone with a visit says, "My family does not pray." I... a man who is sixty or seventy years old, sick. Why, why do you not pray?

The Shaykh : Excuse me, excuse me. Scientific research requires a bit of patience. You have just entered into the topic of visiting them and such, but this is not the research. Visiting for the sake of Allah is required, and mutual advice is required, and enjoining good is required, and forbidding evil is required. But I told you that we are talking about an issue, meaning, what distinguishes the Tabligh group from all the groups you mention. The Tabligh group does not distinguish itself. Everyone who has zeal for Islam, and has some knowledge, and some zeal for the Muslims, does what you are describing.
