Is it permissible to accommodate the people of falsehood for the sake of calling them to Islam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I have the same issue. That is, some of the brothers claim that they accommodate the people of falsehood in the path of da'wah, or for the benefit of da'wah, or even to establish contact with them. They accommodate them and draw close to them, saying, "I am calling them." Is this interpretation permissible? Is it permissible for him to accommodate them in this way?
The Shaykh : May Allah protect us from that. This is from the Jewish principle that "the end justifies the means." This is not permissible in Islam. How can one be a caller to Islam while contradicting Islam?
onAl-Halabi : Our Shaykh, I do not know. Perhaps the brothers in Algeria, given how often they contact you, have mentioned to you or have not mentioned that a specific law has been issued there prohibiting wearing the thobe, growing the beard, and letting the beard grow. Has anyone mentioned anything of this to you?
The Shaykh : No, as a law, no one has mentioned it to me yet.
onAl-Halabi : They told me that two or three days ago, they contacted and said that an official law was issued regarding this matter.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah
Ali: Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah. There is no power and no strength except in Allah. This is one of the consequences of hastening things before their time.
onAl-Halabi : "The patient may attain some of his need, while the hastener may fall into error."
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest
Another questioner : Do you remember how long ago we were discussing this topic?
The Shaykh : Indeed, by Allah
onAl-Halabi : He, may Allah reward him with good, always, whenever the Algerians contacted him, he would always repeat to them the well-known jurisprudential principle: "Whoever hastens a thing before its time is punished with its deprivation." He spoke about this often, but, glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh : That is enough, and nothing after?
The questioner : In some of the questions, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Why? Because the session appears to be on your account.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with the best reward. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may Allah bless you.
