Following the mistakes of those in authority and the method of advising them

Question:
He also asks, saying: There are those who follow the mistakes of those in authority, so what is your guidance for them?

Answer:
He must first follow up on his own mistakes, because he is accountable for himself first. He should rectify himself first. Once he has rectified himself from errors, he looks at the mistakes of his Muslim brothers and advises them, whether they are those in authority or others. That is, he starts with himself first. Advising those in authority should not be chaotic; it should be done in gatherings and in the Friday sermons. It should not be done in such a way.
The advice to those in authority should be delivered to them. It should be delivered to them. Either you deliver it yourself and address those in authority directly. There is no doubt that this is the best approach. If you are unable to do so, you send it with someone, or you send it by mail so that it reaches him. It should be private; the advice to those in authority should not be public, because this ruins the matter and causes people to become chaotic and speak without restraint. It loosens the reins of enjoining good and forbidding evil and the reins of obedience and listening in this way. The Khawarij did not do what they did except in this way. The rebellion against 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and the end of his being killed and martyred (may Allah be pleased with him), did not happen except through speaking in gatherings until they incited people against him. Ibn Abi al-Sabah incited people against the Messenger of Allah's (peace and blessings be upon him) Caliph in the gatherings, and it did nothing but bring evil. But if you go to those in authority or deliver the advice to him, how is that? If the advice reaches him, you have cleared your conscience, and generally it is beneficial, with Allah's permission.
