The characteristics of the one who enjoins good

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, what are the characteristics of the one who enjoins good, and are they specific to certain people?

Answer:
Yes, enjoining good and forbidding evil is obligatory upon the Muslim community, but if enough people perform it, the obligation drops from the rest, and it remains a recommended practice (sunnah) for them. The obligation drops because it is a collective obligation (fard kifayah). Yes.
