Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: The questioner asks, Your Eminence the Shaykh, trials have become widespread in these days in the workplace, the market, and elsewhere. How can I forbid evil when I leave off forbidding it because of shyness?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a Forbidding evil is necessary; the least of it is with the heart. And if you forbid the evil in your heart, stay away from the places of evil and do not mix with its people. Yes.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart
