ANSWER

Wa’alaikumussalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh

Yes, that’s called the Science of Fiqhud Da’wah.. Da’wah needs a strategy, not just conveying it, not just teaching it, not just broadcasting preaching articles.. Pay attention to the levels and thinking abilities of the audience and society, or group, look at cultural, psychological conditions, etc.. So that da’wah is effective, it doesn’t give rise to slander, even if it’s a matter of guidance, return it to Allah.. Allah Ta’ala says:

It is because of Allah’s mercy that you do good to them, and if you are harsh and hard-hearted they will certainly scatter from around you, so forgive them and ask for their forgiveness and consult them about the matter. The problem

So it is because of Allah’s grace that you are gentle towards them. If you are rude and rude, of course they will stay away from you. Therefore, forgive them, ask for forgiveness for them, and consult with them in this matter. (QS. Al ‘Imran (3): 159)

From Anas bin Malik Radhiallahu ‘Anhu, he said:

A Bedouin came and urinated in the middle of the mosque, and the people rebuked him, so the Prophet – may God bless him and grant him peace – forbade them. When he finished urinating, the Prophet – may God bless him and grant him peace – ordered: With the sin of water; So it was dumped on him

“An Arabi (inland people – Bedouin) came and he urinated on the wall of the mosque, so that person prevented him, but the Prophet sallallaahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam forbade them (to prevent the Bedouin from urinating, pen). (HR. Bukhari and Muslim)

This Bedouin’s mistake was very fatal, he came to the mosque not to pay respects but instead he urinated in one corner of the mosque. The Prophet’s friends were angry. However, Rasulullah ﷺ was not angry, instead he forbade them to scold the Bedouin, because the person’s mistake was understandable because he was from the interior and had not been educated. Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam immediately gave a solution, namely take water and clean the impurity. This is the fiqh of da’wah.

Wallahu A’lam
