Question:
This person says: If the one in authority commits an evil, how is it forbidden to him?
Answer:
You advise him, as stated in the hadith: you take hold of his hand and advise him. If he accepts, praise be to Allah; otherwise, you have fulfilled what is required of you. If you cannot reach him, you write to him through someone who can deliver the advice to him, or you instruct someone to speak to him about it. If you are unable to do any of that, you are excused. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[At-Taghabun 64:16] Yes.
