How are wrongs to be changed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are many streets where the owners do not sleep all night because they are occupied with video and the hair of Muslims. Do you have the ability to change any of that? May Allah reward you with good, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
We see that it is a sin for which you should seek forgiveness. May Allah reward you with good. Ask us about it, and we will do what we can. Ask us about the streets you see that stay up late for video or other projects. We will do what we can, if Allah wills, with the rulers. So write to us about it, and so on. A Muslim brother who sees an apparent wrong and does not change it should write to us, to the Committee, and to the other scholars, so that there is cooperation in righteousness and piety through writing, because it encourages the one written to and helps him in forbidding what is wrong. If he does not see neglected wrongs, he writes to the other scholars to cooperate in righteousness and piety, saying, "I saw such-and-such in such-and-such a place, and I saw so-and-so’s partner in such-and-such a place," so that we cooperate with the Committee and the rest of the Sunnah in affirming this wrong or that. And he should not despair, saying, "This exists," and not doing what he can, nor should he despair.
