Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: When I am ignorant of some of the forbidden matters, and I do not have a complete grasp of them, is it better for me to forbid them or to remain silent?

Answer:
What you do not know, you do not forbid. But you can offer advice and warn against sins. You can warn against sins, explain their harms, and explain their dangers, even if you do not specify this particular sin or that particular sin. Yes.
