When is Harshness Applied in Da'wah


Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee



When is lenience and when is harshness applied in Da'wah when interacting with people?


The standard in Da'wah is applying lenience, gentleness and wisdom, this is the basis may Allaah bless you.

There are those who oppose and deny the truth, you establish the evidence upon them but they refuse [to accept the truth], this is when you use refutations. If you were a ruler and he was a caller, you may discipline him with the sword (authority). This may lead to his execution if he is persistent in propagating his falsehood.

There are some scholars who hold the opinion that this person is worse than brigands. So he is to be advised and the evidence is to be established upon him. If he refuses to accept [the truth], the legislated authority is to punish him by imprisoning, banishing or even by executing him.

Al Jahm ibn Safwaan, Bishr al Mareesee, Al Ja'd ibn Dirham and others were sentenced to death, may Allaah bless you. This is the ruling of the 'Ulamaa over those who oppose and persist on propagating their innovations. If Allaah benefits them [through advice] and they return [to the truth], then this is what is intended.

i think i am not understanding this, so please clarify.
you are talking about giving dawah - when the target refuses - are you saying his very refusal constitutes "propagating" his
belief system?
if so:
so much for no compulsion in religion.
so much for islam not being spread by the sword.
so you come to give me dawah all nice-like and when i persist in my kafir beliefs, my refusal is viewed as the same as propagating my unbelief?
unwillingness to revert is not the same as propagating "kafirism".
i think (hope) i missed something here because this contradicts other things i have read.
thanks.

Hi

Indeed you did.:) Lol. Obviously here propogating falsehood is not believing in it, and not spreading it amongst the people. That's a different matter all together. And the amount of punishment excercised by the ruler depends on the seriousness of what is being said - I presume.

If I invite you as non-muslim to Islam and you don't accept it is okay. If you go and talk nonsense about Allah and the prophet Muhammad and spread that message challenging me, its not okay.
