Converting enjoining good and forbidding evil from a collective obligation to an individual obligation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, enjoining good and forbidding evil. The scholars say that it is a collective obligation. If we look at the number of people engaged in enjoining good and forbidding evil in any given place, their number is small. Does it change from being a collective obligation to an individual obligation?
Answer:
It never changes. It does not change from being a collective obligation to being an individual obligation; it remains as it is. However, if the number is small, one must demand that the authorities increase the number, and explain to them that the current number is not sufficient to cover the society, so it is necessary to increase the number of members. Yes.
