Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it obligatory to go to places of evil in order to enjoin good and forbid evil, and to hold people accountable?
Answer:
Yes. If you know that a certain place is where corruption and evil occur, then you go there for the sake of forbidding evil. You either forbid it yourself if you are able, or you report it so that we can inform those who are able to do so. This is part of cooperating in righteousness and piety. Yes.
