Question:
This is a question asking: What are the lawful methods of forbidding what is wrong?
Answer:
As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained. Yes, pray.Sahih Muslim 49a This is for those in authority; they are the ones who change [evil] by hand, namely those in authority or their deputies. As for the one who cannot, he denies the evil with his tongue, saying, "This is wrong" and "This is not permissible," and he guides to what is correct and to the truth, calling to Allah. This is denial by the tongue. As for the one who cannot do so by hand or by tongue, he denies the evil with his heart and keeps away from the company and sitting with the people of evil. Yes.
