The questioner:
Or she said to us, "I will not see you, and O our Amir, two parents who worship people are witnesses."
The Shaykh:
You do not take it, and if he takes it, he bears the responsibility for it. As for you, you do not take anything in which you have no right. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), if the matter is not taken as a command from what Allah decrees to be decreed, then this is a matter that has no power over anyone.
The Shaykh:
Enjoining good and forbidding evil is not limited to one person or a group of people. If one person is prevented, there is a replacement among the people. This person may be prevented, and he is excused, and he is unable to do it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a So by his mention, if he is prevented, he becomes unable, but this does not mean that enjoining good and forbidding evil is suspended. Praise be to Allah, there are among the Muslims those who carry it out, and it is not dependent on one person or a group. Yes. Our children. Yes, one of the slogans of the people of the Sunnah and the community is making du'a for the one in authority, and one of the slogans of the Khawarij is not making du'a for the one in authority, or making du'a against him. This is a slogan of the Khawarij, the Mu'tazilah, and the people of misguidance.

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength
