It was said to the Shaykh (may Allah grant you success), this questioner says: What is the Shari'ah method for forbidding the apparent evils in society? What is the method of the Salaf in this matter (may Allah grant you success)?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a And this is for one who has authority, such as the men of hisbah, the rulers, and those who have authority. Sunan an-Nasa'i 5008Sahih (Darussalam), and that is through advice, admonition, and reminding.
