Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami was asked:

Question:

Is Islamic Da’wah obligatory upon everyone? I hope for more clarification

Answer:

“Islamic Da’wah, calling to Allah, and calling to the way of Allah is obligatory upon a specific group of the people. The People of Knowledge and Insight. The one who does not have knowledge and insight, then he is not qualified to call himself a Caller and he will go about disordered/unguided. So this person will corrupt more than he will guide. Thus, Da’wah to Allah, to His religion, and to Islam is only obligatory upon the Scholars and the People of Knowledge and Insight.

We ask Allah, the Exalted to gather us upon good, and to make us from those who love for His sake, and workers in His path, and to protect us and you from this fitan and its effects. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions”.
