The questioner : Is sending a message sufficient for calling a people to Islam before fighting them?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is sufficient, because he will order them to enter Islam, and if they refuse, they become defiant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he appointed a commander for an army or a detachment, would order him to give the people the choice between Islam, paying the jizyah, or fighting. Yes.
