Answer
If a person wants to accept Islam, one should embrace the opportunity and explain the person the different tenets of Islam as soon as possible. One should not delay in accomplishing acts of virtue.
However, delaying in doing so will not be Kufr.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
