Matters in which disapproval is required

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 4245 )
Q1: Is it permissible for a Muslim brother to disapprove of another Muslim brother regarding a matter such as the matter of images, and what are the matters in which disapproval is permissible, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his handمن رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده
Sahih Muslim 49a
… "the hadith, and Allah the Exalted said:
You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrongكُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ
[Ali 'Imran 3:110]


A1: The Islamic Shari'ah includes what Allah has commanded, such as the five daily prayers, fasting in Ramadan, and other things Allah has commanded, and it includes what Allah has forbidden, such as unlawful sexual intercourse, theft, and killing a soul without right, and other things Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. So, if someone falls short in leaving what Allah has made obligatory upon him, or commits something of what Allah has forbidden, then whoever is able to disapprove of him must disapprove of him in the manner explained by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), where he said:
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 enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.من رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه؛ وذلك أضعف الإيمان
Sahih Muslim 49a
, and in another hadith:
and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seedوليس وراء ذلك من الإيمان حبة خردل
Sahih Muslim 50a
. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
