There's a question that I work in an
Islamic shop and sometimes
customers speak bad about particular
categories of people. Is it obligatory
for me to correct them?
And what do I
say?
One should know
2 things. 1 should know the fiqh of
commanding the good and forbidding the wrong. And
secondly
the guidance related to being a person of
sincere counsel, of naseeha. And if you do
that,
then you know how to act because you
only, it is obligatory to command the good
and forbid the wrong, when it's an obligatory
matter. And number 2,
number 2,
you are hopeful that it will be of
benefit.
You're hopeful that it will be of benefit.
And
sincere counsel as well is recommended,
and has recommended,
when all things considered, it's likely to be
of benefit.
Otherwise, we make good character
our
argument,
right? And people who don't know, we
help them to know by good conduct with
them, by patience, and by gradually steering them
towards what benefits them.
The Prophet SAWH never argued with anyone, he
presented clearly and convincingly and then let people
decide. If you consider some of the leading
Sahaba,
their own parents, their own siblings only
entered Islam after the opening of Mecca. Abu
Bakr radiAllahu anhu his father only became Muslim
after the fath of Mecca.
