Question:
The questioner says: What are the means and ways that enable a person to advance in enjoining good and forbidding evil without hesitation?
Answer:
The ways in this matter, if he has authority or power, or if he is among those whom the ruler has appointed for hisbah (supervision of public morals), this is one of the greatest means for enjoining good and forbidding evil. Likewise, if he has the ability and knowledge but no authority, yet he has knowledge and awareness of what is wrong and what is right, he should use advice, he should use reminding, and he should use forbidding the wrong with his tongue, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
