Question:
Is it permissible for a person to enjoin good even if he does not do it, and to forbid evil even if he commits that evil?
Answer:
Why did he not do it? He should repent to Allah, leave the evil, and call to good and enjoin it. He should not combine two sins: abandoning the enjoining of good and not doing what is right. He should not combine them. Even if he only calls a person who is 100% righteous, no one has ever called. We all have sins, we all have shortcomings, we all have faults. We must repent to Allah and hold ourselves accountable, and we must call to Allah. We do not say, "By Allah, we have sins, so we are not calling, and we have sins." This is from Satan. We repent from the sins and call to good. Yes. To.
