Ruling on visiting non-Muslims to invite them to Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have non-Muslim neighbors, and I would like to invite them. What is the best way to do that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must invite them to Islam by visiting them or by inviting them to your home for a meal. You invite them to advise them. This is not from love that contradicts faith, if the intention is to invite them to Allah, guide them, and direct them. Likewise, the open sinners and transgressors among your neighbors or relatives: when you invite them to advise and direct them, this is not from loyalty (al-wala'), but rather the intention is calling to Allah and guidance.
