He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is forbidding evil done with the heart?
The Shaykh:
If he is unable to do so with his hand or his tongue, meaning he cannot forbid the evil with his hand and cannot forbid the evil with his tongue, because if he speaks he will be punished, prevented from doing so, or killed, then he forbids the evil with his heart and avoids the evil, the people of the evil, and the place of the evil; he keeps his distance. Yes.
