What is the evil that a Muslim must forbid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask for clarification on the types of evil that a person must forbid, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
Whatever Allah and His Messenger have forbidden must be forbidden. Every matter that Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, and every sin, must be forbidden as long as one is able to do so. This is the general rule. Every sin that Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, or every obligatory duty that Allah and His Messenger have made obligatory: if a person abandons the obligation or commits the sin and makes it public, and this is known about him, it must be forbidden to him. It is not permissible to remain silent if one is able to act.
