The ruling on the claim that the Jews and Christians are not declared disbelievers on the grounds that Islam did not reach them, and if it did reach them, it was in a distorted form

Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Some people do not declare the Jews and Christians disbelievers, nor do they believe that if they die upon that state, they will enter the Fire, on the excuse that Islam did not reach them, and if it did reach them, it was in a distorted form.

Answer:
This is a false statement. The Qur'an has reached the East and the West, and the prayer in the Sacred Mosque is now broadcast to the world at all times. They watch those who are praying, they observe how the prayer is performed, which means the proof has reached them.
