Tell us about enjoining good and forbidding evil, and what is the best way to proceed in this prescribed matter?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Tell us about enjoining good and forbidding evil, and what is the best way to proceed in this prescribed matter? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The best way is the one outlined by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in his saying . So every Muslim must forbid what is wrong and enjoin what is right according to his ability. If he is able to change the wrong by hand, and if he has authority, then he changes the wrong by hand, such as the rulers of affairs and those whom the rulers of affairs have appointed for this purpose. These people have the hand and authority by which they remove the wrong. If he has no authority and no hand, then he clarifies; he forbids with his tongue, clarifies, advises, and warns, and he also informs the rulers of affairs about this matter so that they fulfill the obligation. If he is unable to clarify with his tongue, then he forbids it with his heart, hates it, hates its people, and keeps away from them and distances himself from them, except on the path of sincere advice and reminding them of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so that perhaps they may return. Yes.
