Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is forbidding the evils that occur in this time and going down to the markets to forbid them considered jihad?
Answer:
It is a type of jihad, but forbidding them with wisdom, good admonition, and kind words that souls accept is jihad in the path of Allah, provided you are not prevented. If you are prevented or threatened, then you should be cautious.
