Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"A sermon concerning what is feared is easy, and its consequences are light; because it falls within the sphere of commendable virtues. The matter becomes more serious if it falls within the sphere of obligatory duties. A servant is required to do good and enjoin it, and refraining from the act does not negate the obligation to enjoin."
