Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if, may Allah have mercy on him, what is required of the Muslim if he sees a righteous person being aggressive toward one of his Muslim colleagues? Does he have the right to punish him or not?
Answer:
Yes, he has the right to defend his brother, his brother's protected relatives, and his brother's property; he has the right to defend them. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] and justice. This is part of forbidding what is wrong. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 49a and the Muslims are like one body, like one building. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 2443 So the one who is wronged, it is obligatory for whoever is able to help him and repel the injustice from him. The sanctity of the Muslim requires defense. Yes.

And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِHe who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand
من رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيدهHelp your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one.
انصر أخاك ظالما أو مظلوما
