The Ruling on Going to Places of Corruption to Forbid Evil Among Their Inhabitants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to go to a place of corruption and misguidance to forbid evil among them?
Answer:
Yes, if you are one of the men of the Hisbah, this is your duty. You go to the places of doubt and perform the obligatory duty toward their inhabitants. But if you are not one of the men of the Hisbah, do not go to the places you have not been ordered to go to and have not been tasked with going to, because nothing has become apparent to you. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever sees from you what I have not seen..." As long as you have not seen anything, praise be to Allah, may Allah keep you safe. Yes.
