When is a Muslim obligated to engage in da'wah (inviting to Islam), and is it after having knowledge of what he is inviting to?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Calling to Allah is obligatory upon every Muslim, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Convey from me, even if it is a single verse." This call must be based on knowledge and insight. However, this does not mean that the caller must be knowledgeable in all matters of religion; rather, it suffices for him to know one issue from its issues to convey it to Muslims or to those who need it.
