Is it permissible for a brother to remain silent if he sees an error in his brother?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it obligatory for me, if I see an error in my Muslim brother, is it obligatory for me to advise him if I can, or should I leave him to his errors?

Answer:
No, do not leave him to his error. He will hold you accountable on the Day of Resurrection for having seen him in error and not alerting him. So alert him, seek reward from Allah and alert him, and take his hand toward good.
