Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Do you have any advice for the people in general, and for students of knowledge in particular, regarding the practice of enjoining good and forbidding evil, and regarding those who are lax in it?
Answer:
This is what requires the authentic hadithSahih Muslim 49a This is for the one who has authority. The one who has authority—men of hisbah and the one in authority—changes it with his hand by advice, by calling to Allah, by explaining the rulings of the Shari'ah so that people know them. The one who cannot, either because he is prevented or because he does not have knowledge, this one denies it with his heart, meaning that he hates the evil and stays away from it and avoids its people. Yes.
