Question
Your Eminence, Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it true that abandoning the enjoining of good and the forbidding of evil is one of the impediments to the acceptance of du’a’ (supplication)?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. [The Prophet ﷺ said:] “Then you will call upon Allah and He will not answer you.” It has come in the Hadith that if you abandon the enjoining of good and the forbidding of evil, you will call upon Allah and He will not answer you.
