What is the ruling on calling the Jews and guiding them to Islam? And what is the ruling on damaged Qur'ans?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of you, may Allah reward you with good. Like this state that has occurred between the Muslims and the Jews, in our view, they should be addressed with guiding speech if they accept guidance, for example, how to become Muslim. Perhaps they will become Muslim, and they will become Muslim, and everyone will become Muslim, as Allah the Exalted said: [Saba 34:28] May Allah bless you. And the second question: this means that from the side of the Jews, they must be addressed with speech on how to become Muslim and how to do such things, and through the radio broadcasts. If they accept guidance, guides should be sent to them. The Palestinians have a shortcoming, and one of us, and the Muslims among us are entering, we are within ourselves, and perfection belongs to Allah the Exalted.
The second thing, I have a question: how do we deal with the damaged Qur'ans in homes and in mosques? May Allah guide you all.
The Shaykh : Now, as for the first issue, there is no doubt that it is obligatory for the Muslims to call the servants of Allah to the religion of Allah, from among the Jews, the Christians, and others. Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said:[An-Nahl 16:125] But this obligation has, in reality, been neglected by the Muslims, either due to their inability, or despair, or other causes, some of which we know and some of which we do not know. We ask Allah the Exalted to restore the honor and dignity of the Muslim community so that they can call people to the religion of Allah, or to submission to the religion of Allah, because it is obligatory to fight them until they become Muslim or pay the jizyah (tax on protected non-Muslims) from the hand while they are humbled. As for the second question, damaged Qur'ans are burned, as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did when they burned the extra Qur'ans beyond the copy of 'Uthman. They are burned and buried in a clean place. Yes.
The questioner : Meaning, a hole is dug for them and they are buried.
The Shaykh : No, I prefer they are burned, because if you dig a hole, it might be dug up later. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : In order, my brothers.
And We have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind
وما أرسلناك إلا كافة للناسThe second thing, I have a question: how do we deal with the damaged Qur'ans in homes and in mosques? May Allah guide you all.
The Shaykh : Now, as for the first issue, there is no doubt that it is obligatory for the Muslims to call the servants of Allah to the religion of Allah, from among the Jews, the Christians, and others. Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said:
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction
ادع إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنةThe questioner : Meaning, a hole is dug for them and they are buried.
The Shaykh : No, I prefer they are burned, because if you dig a hole, it might be dug up later. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : In order, my brothers.
