Stripping of faith by leaving the forbidding of evil

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a person sees an evil and does not forbid it, is his faith stripped away because of that?

Answer:
If he does not forbid the evil with his heart, even in the slightest, and does not forbid the evil with his heart, then that is the weakest of faith. And in a narration:
and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seedوليس وراء ذلك من الإيمان حبة خردل
Sahih Muslim 50a
Yes, the warning is severe in this regarding leaving the forbidding of evil, when he is able to do so and according to his capability, even with his heart. If he forbids it with his heart, he should distance himself from the people of evil, not sit with them, and not walk with them. Yes.
