Starting with the denial of the most dangerous matter when multiple wrongs are present in a gathering

Question:
For this reason, the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) has stated that a person may find himself in situations where there is more than one means of correction and more than one report, and he is not obligated to support the denial of all the wrongs. So if one finds himself with a group where there is shaving of the beard, recitation of the Qur'an, and talk of backbiting, and perhaps he is unable to leave the gathering without [the recording cuts off].

Answer:
The work begins with the most important of the important matters, starting with the most dangerous of the sins, such as shirk (associating partners with Allah), or speech regarding the authority of the rulers, because this is more dangerous than the backbiting of individuals. Speech regarding the authority of the rulers causes chaos and fills hearts with resentment toward the rulers, and in the end, it leads to rebellion against the rulers in this manner, as Ibn Saba did (may Allah curse him) when he began speaking about 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), saying this and that, until the matter culminated in the killing of the Caliph of the Muslims, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). So the one who sees these matters begins with the most dangerous of them and denies this, which is more dangerous than shaving the beard and more dangerous than letting the garment hang below the ankles. He denies this matter because if it spreads and becomes widespread, it will ultimately lead to the destruction of the Ummah.
