Advice to the Youth Regarding Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil

Question:
Some callers have taken it upon themselves to engage in this matter of enjoining good and forbidding evil without a pledge of allegiance to the ruler, just as the Muslim youth are compared to those who go to the doors of teachers and other than the ruler, relying on the apparent meanings of some verses of the Qur'an or some chapters of the Sunnah. So I say, may Allah reward you, we are giving advice to the Muslim youth so that they do not wish for or fear for themselves any calamity in this matter.

Answer:
Those who engage in this work do not fall outside of one of two categories: either they are ignorant and did not intend this error, in which case they must learn first; it is not permissible for them to speak about enjoining good and forbidding evil and this great principle until they have learned. Once they learn, they will know the truth, if Allah wills. They were previously ignorant and erred by speaking about what they did not know, so they must learn first so that their ignorance is removed and they know the truth. This is the first type. The second type is people who are from the people of hypocrisy and the people of evil, who want to divide the word of the Muslims and sow enmity between them. As for these, one must be cautious of them, warn against them, and not be deceived by them or their brothers. Yes.
