Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that the caller to Islam must know the person being invited.
The Shaykh : His condition, his condition.
The questioner : The condition of the person being invited: do correspondence, audio tapes, or books suffice, especially if you know from his condition that you may enter into a long argument and discussion with him?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt that the means of da'wah are many, either through meeting and face-to-face conversation, or through correspondence and writing, or through correspondence via audio tapes. The important thing is reaching the guidance of creation by any means. If you see, for example, that if you enter into face-to-face conversation and meeting with them, it leads to argument and neither of you benefits from the other, there is no harm in sending him a written or oral message via an audio tape. Yes.
