Advice to the Youth on Enjoining Good and Not Stirring Up Fitnah (Trial, Discord or Temptation) through Public Exposure

Question:
And to the Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), some callers and people in recent years have taken the matter of enjoining good and forbidding evil as a pretext to stir up fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the ranks of the Muslim youth. They expose the best of the scholars and those in authority based on the apparent meanings of some verses of the Qur'an and some chapters of the Sunnah. So I hope Your Eminence will kindly give advice to the Muslim youth so that they do not forget and backbite regarding what has become widespread in this age.

Answer:
Those who engage in this action do not fall outside of one of two categories. Either they are ignorant and did not intend this error; these people must first learn what is permissible for them to speak about regarding enjoining good and forbidding evil, and this great principle, only after they have learned. If they learn, they will know the truth, if Allah wills. They came from their ignorance and erred in that they spoke about what they did not know. So they must learn first, so that their ignorance is removed and they know the truth. This is one type.
The second type are malicious people from among the hypocrites and the people of evil, who want to divide the word of the Muslims and sow enmity between them. So one must be cautious of them, warn against them, and not be deceived by them or their sayings. Yes.
