Did you say that calling to Allah is a collective obligation, such that if some people fulfill it, it is lifted from the others?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you... In the tafsir, we stated that calling to Allah the Exalted is a collective obligation. A collective obligation: if some people do not fulfill it, the rest are sinful.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : ...that he does not engage in calling, but it is sufficient...
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, but who said that it is not sufficient?
The questioner : The reality
The Shaykh : No, it is correct. It is correct. Most of the preachers now, and praise be to Allah, most of them have knowledge, and they are students of knowledge, and they call people, and people benefit from them. Calling is not that it must be in a specific form, meaning that people go, for example, and give lectures in mosques and the like. It is not obligatory.
The questioner : Shaykh, what about one who commits a major sin... after the prayer
The Shaykh : This falls under the category of enjoining good and forbidding evil, not under the category of calling. Calling, because you must know that there is calling, and enjoining good and forbidding evil, and admonition, and changing evil. Four levels, each one different from the other. Yes.
