Denying what is wrong in magazines containing indecent images

Question:
Another person says that some Muslim brothers carry with them magazines containing indecent images and naked women, and these magazines are bought and sold in the markets. Is Your Eminence pleased with this?

Answer:
It is conveyed to whoever sees this that he should deny it. If you see it with your brother in a magazine with indecent images, or in a newspaper or otherwise, you deny it to him and advise him, despite your feelings, and you say, "My brother, these indecent images are not permissible until they are crossed out, their heads are cut off, or they are removed with ink or otherwise, so that they are obliterated." Do not say, "This is for the committee to handle." You are one of the committee. When you heard from the scholars, Allah the Exalted said, "You are the best nation produced for mankind, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong." So there is no excuse for anyone. Every person is considered a member. The people of Islam are considered a functioning body, forbidding according to his capacity: with his hand, then his tongue, then his heart. He denies with his tongue and sends [the matter] to Allah with his tongue, and he denies what is wrong with his tongue to his brothers with whom he witnesses the wrong, even if they do not accept it from him, or even if they mock him, it does not harm him. If they accept it from him, he has carried it out; if not, he has fulfilled his duty.
