Forbidding evil with force and violence against the obstinate
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to forbid evil with force and violence, especially against the obstinate?
Answer:
This is for the one in authority. Forbidding evil with force is for the one in authority and for those whom the one in authority has appointed from the men of the Hisbah (public order). As for one who has no authority over the Hisbah and no power, he forbids it with his tongue, meaning he calls to Allah and makes it clear to the people that this is forbidden and that this is wrong, with wisdom, good admonition, and the best kind of argument. If he is unable to do this or that, he forbids it with his heart, and he distances himself from them and from their families, and he does not sit with them, nor does he go to places where there are wrongs that he is unable to forbid. Yes.
