I believe that da'wah is a responsibility of every muslim, and I encounter many non-muslims on campus. My quesion is about making da'wah to women(I'm a guy)

There are two aspects to this query; Da'awah to non-Muslims and Da'awah to%0D%0Athe opposite gender.%0D%0A%0D%0AAt the outset, you should understand well that Da'awah is the responsibility%0D%0Aof every single Muslim. It is one of the most effective tools of inviting to%0D%0ADeen. Nevertheless, nowadays, it is a known fact that generally Muslims have%0D%0Adrifted far away from Deen. Muslims have changed their priorities of Deen to%0D%0Amaterial glitters of their temporary life. Therefore, in order to first%0D%0Aequip us with Islamic values and principles, the Ulama have looked into the%0D%0Alife of Rasulullah [Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam] and concluded that Da'awah%0D%0Ato Muslims was always a priority over non-Muslims.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn the opening verses of Surah Abasa, Allah Ta'ala emphasised to Nabi%0D%0A[Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] that you should always give preference to%0D%0AMuslims over non-Muslims. We should not be deceived by Shaytaan in giving Da%0D%0A'awah to the opposite gender. According to the Shari'ah, it is Haraam%0D%0A(prohibited) to have any contact with strange (non-Mahram) women, even%0D%0Athough it may be for Da'awah purposes. There are many women in South Africa%0D%0Awho are well versed in the Shari'ah. You should use a Mahram to refer them%0D%0Ato these people.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai
